Re: [JOYnet] INVISIBLE CROSS
Dear all, Drawing a cross on the forehead is a wonderful practice which puts everything under HIS control. Every morning while I leave for work my wife draws the cross on my forehead thrice. That time I also pray for her. It is a great feeling of security that you get by this simple practice. She started this practice after her mother who does the same before her father leaves home. Everything works out wonderfully the moment we leave the control with God. I am experiencing His blessings in all matters that are left with Him. No praise will be enough for all the love He's showing towards us.And it's His blessing that Joynet family is growing day by day. with prayers pradeep - Original Message - From: DENCIL FERNANDEZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 9:20 AM Subject: [JOYnet] INVISIBLE CROSS > Dear joy netters, > > When i went through the beautiful sharing about the invisible cross, what skipped past my mind is the beautiful and reassuring time when my mom used to put this invisible cross on my forehead whenever i leave for school or in fact wherever i left for.

[JOYnet] Unique experience
Dear Joynetters I am forwarding herewith a message received by Fr.Thomas Mathew from Nisha, a teenager, during his retreat in Auckland, New Zealand. Hope this will help someone. With prayerful regards sebastian thomas Bahrain From : Nisha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To :[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject :unique experience Date :Tue, 29 Oct 2002 23:26:30 +1300 (NZDT) Dear Rev. Fr. Dr. Thomas Mathew, My name is Nisha. I am daughter of Mr. Rajan Clemence. I am writing this to share my experience I had in the retreat conducted by Fr.Thomas Mathew, at Auckland, New Zealand. First of all, have to admit, I wasn't too keen on attending this retreat - 2 reasons. One main reason was my finals coming up the following week. I was stressing hard out since I felt I had not prepared enough. So I had made up my mind not to attend the retreat. That first morning, My Dad came and asked me one last time if I would like to go. I wondered, there must be something God wants me to do or else Dad wouldn't come and ask me like that - even though I made it clear with my parents until the previous night that I wasn't going. So I decided to read the Bible - that's where I find my answers every time I have some difficulty. I got a quote (I can't remember the exact quote) which prompted me to attend the retreat. Then I prayed, now I felt like someone was telling me - whatever and how much you study, its never complete without his blessing and that this is a great opportunity. So I decided to go. It was a good experience. I went home and shared my experience with many others including family friends - 6 of them decided to come the next day! Another main reason was - I have had unsweet experiences with retreats in the past and thought this will be no different from others. I don't mean to criticize anyone, I know I'm no one to, but the retreat conductors usually force the attendees to pray in a way they are not comfortable with and not used to. I've seen a lot of "picking" in retreats by the conductors and often the person being picked on, feels a little uncomfortable attending further, thinking others might have this impression on him/her. But Father's attitude and style were different. The humorous manner you presented the retreat in with so many real life experiences was one factor that attracted my attention. Usually, I tend to get absent minded in the middle of talks and sermons. But your retreat really grabbed my whole concentration during the entire course. Another factor, you explained everything in an unadorned, non elaborate way and was simple & understandable. Usually people of my age, would find it hard to grasp sermons and retreat talks when it is all just complicated concepts. Besides all this, I could pray well during the retreat - Felt like God is listening and I can ask him anything, I mean anything. I discovered this from one of your sermons. Another good thing I felt was that you were not forcing anyone or picking on anyone or making people embarrassed if their praying style/attitude were different. You were so easy to reach - I'm not sure if this is due to the limited number of people there, but it was good. It meant everyone had your attention when needed. This retreat was definitely one of a kind for me. I am telling this from my past experiences with retreats. It was certainly a "not to be missed" opportunity and I am glad God helped me make the decision to come for this retreat. It was a special one indeed. Now I'm trying to get some of my friends join us for the youth retreat Father is about to conduct soon. I very much look forward to attending that.

[JOYnet] Hi
Hi JYs, It's been after a long time that I written in Joynet. Congratulations Joynet for the 4th Birthday (belated). I was introduced to joynet by my friend which was last year in the month of October. After that there was no looking back. It is just like being a part of a big family. I came to know so many wonderful people who shared such beautiful relationship with the Lord and who encouraged me in my spiritual life. The JYs are like Angels who give me a helping hand in moments of depression, doubt and anxiety. I remember last year when I had decided at the nick of the time to come to Potta in December, it was these angels (Jason & Welchy) who made the impossible possible. I keep thanking my Lord for them always. The wonderful experience I had there with the Lord will always be cherished. Thus I feel being a part of Joynet was God's way of bringing me one step more closer to Him. The association with Joynet has helped me tremendously in my journey of faith where most of my doubts about Christianity have been cleared and I thank God for it. Thanks & God Bless. May we celebrate many such birthday's. Love & Prayers Jennifer This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] INVISIBLE CROSS
Dear joy netters, When i went through the beautiful sharing about the invisible cross, what skipped past my mind is the beautiful and reassuring time when my mom used to put this invisible cross on my forehead whenever i leave for school or in fact wherever i left for. I really beleive that those numerous invisible crosses my mom drew on my forehead have protected me from many evils. It was really wonderful to realize how God has been guiding us and protecting us throughout our life. Let us praise God and give thanks to the Lord our God for showering his uncompromised love upon us all these days.

[JOYnet] SALT ?????????
PRAISE THE LORD Dear Joy netters, There is something i want to share with u. I remember a lot of little things that have touched me deeply during the Capus conference. Some of those are the many small talks given by CC chettan. One of them goes like this: Do u know why Jesus has told us that we should be the salt of this earth? Well, if one happens to get into his mouth a handful of salt, what would happen? he would obviously run for water. It is our foremost duty to proclaim the Good News. When we do this, we are literally putting a handful of salt into people. Whe they take us in, first thing they will do is spit us out, LET THEM SPIT US OUT, BUT THEN THEY WILL RUN FOR THE WATER OF LIFE. Their thirst will only be quenched when they find Jesus and accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. With lots of love and prayers, Ur brother in Christ, Dencil. - Get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs. This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] Query : God or Parents ??
The answer is Obeying our parents. Many times in the scripture and in the lives of saints and in reported and accepted apparitions, we see heaven rejoicing when we obey our superiors and elders. Because that is what Christ taught us. But if our superiors ask us to do evil, then we should not obey them, but pray for them. Jesus Loves You. Original Message Follows From: "Jason :)" To: Subject: [JOYnet] Query : God or Parents ?? I have a very intereting Query which was asked to me recently. If Following God's Will meant disobeying our Parents which should we choose. Obeying his will and disobeying our Parents.

[JOYnet] Various ways of undergoing suffering
Dear Friends, There are many various ways of undergoing suffering, but the Blessed Virgin Mary has shown us the best way. She too had her own suffering on the way to Calvary. She was there to reassure Jesus Christ that indeed He was not alone. Seeing her Son suffer terribly in the hands of men, Marys pain must have been unbearable. Had it not been for the grace of the Father, she would have died of pain and affliction. Our Lord has shown us the value of the following virtues: 1. Silence 2. Humility and Obedience 3. Sacrifice 4. Burning Charity. Silence: In her silence, the Blessed Virgin endured every pain, every blow. She was always focused on the presence of God. She totally participated in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, her Sonin silence. Humility and Obedience: Mary was humble enough to accept fully the will of the Father, even to sacrifice her only Son to be obtain for the remission of the sins of the mankind. Her fidelity is the same as that of Jesus Christ: Here I am Lord, I came to do Your will. Sacrifice: By her spirit of sacrifice and atonement, the Blessed Virgin also offered reparation in union with Jesus, for the sins of humanity. She continues to intercede for the Church and lead souls to prayer, conversion and reparation. Burning Charity: Despite all the hardship and injustices she suffered, the Blessed Virgin remained in the spirit of charity. She never returned evil for evil. She always spoke well of all, thought well of all and did good to all, excusing even those who killed her Son. Precisely it is sin that wounds and it is grace that heals and strengthens souls. In our sufferings it is therefore very important to be able to imitate the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Then healing will come. "Through suffering, the new man with a new heart, a new spirit, a new law and obedient to Gods statutes will emerge from within us, and we will experience a new lifehere and unto eternity" (Fr.
