[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
December 01, 2002 Saint of the Day : St. Eligius (Patron of metalworkers) Eligius (also known as Eloi) was born around 590 near Limoges in France. He became an extremely skillful metalsmith and was appointed master of the mint under King Clotaire II of Paris. Eligius developed a close friendship with the King and his reputation as an outstanding metalsmith became widespread. With his fame came fortune. Eligius was very generous to the poor, ransomed many slaves, and built several churches and a monastery at Solignac. He also erected a major convent in Paris with property he received from Clotaire's son, King Dagobert I. In 629, Eligius was appointed Dagobert's first counselor. Later, on a mission for Dagobert, he persuaded the Breton King Judicael, to accept the authority of Dagobert. Eligius later fulfilled his desire to serve God as a priest, after being ordained in 640. Then he was made bishop of Noyon and Tournai. His apostolic zeal led him to preach in Flanders, especially Antwerp, Ghent, and Courtai where he made many converts. Eligius died on December 1, around 660, at Noyon. He is the patron of metalworkers and his feast day is December 1. The use of one's talents and wealth for the welfare of humanity is a very true reflection of the image of God. In the case of St. Eligius, he was so well liked that he attracted many to Christ. His example should encourage us to be generous in spirit and kind and happy in demeanor. === Hi JYs, As we are closing for the Eid holidays today, sorry the next 'Saint of the Day' will be posted only on 10th after reopening.

[JOYnet] Daily Bread (30.11.2002)
Then the high priest took action; he and all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sad'du.cees), being filled with jelousy, arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. But during the night an angel of the LORD opened the prison door, brought them out, and said, Go stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message about his life Acts 5 : 17 - 20 _ This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] The 7 Ups
The 7 Ups 1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. I Samuel 16:7 3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. He who guards his lips guards his soul. Proverbs 13:3 4. Stand Up!! . . . for what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good... Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up !! . . . to the Lord. I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 6. Reach Up !! . . . for something higher. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up !! . . . your Prayers. Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. Philippians 4:6 A POSITIVE THOUGHT If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary. Face it, He's crazy about you. Send this to the people you care about. I thought this was mighty special, just like you. Pass this on and brighten someone's day, and remember . . . God answers Knee-Mail!

[JOYnet] ADVENT - TIME OF GRACE
Dear friends, Today we begin the new liturgical year, with the season of Advent. I just would like to share a few thoughts. What is it, after all, year after year we keep this season? So much so, it has become a mere routine]]] Just as we begin this season we know that Christmas is coming, and we begin the preparations (external, this worldly) for it. But how much do we concentrate on the time of Advent itself?? BE ALERT (WATCHFUL) --- If we pay close attention to the liturgical celebrations of this season, we can find a very peculiar reality. For the past few weeks the Church had been asking us to think about 'the end' (Parousia - the second coming of Our Lord), and prepare for it. There the importance was for repentance and renewal of life so that we would be found worthy to receive the Lord. Ironically, the message for this season of Advent also is the same : 'be watchful and alert' for the Lord is coming. That is why we pray in this season come Lord Jesus, come. We are a people who live in between two comings of the Lord: the first coming at Christmas (to save) and the second at the end (to judge). So the important message of this season of Advent is be alert, and watchful for the Lord who comes. But when, where and how does He come? Though we are absolutely uncertain (Mk.13:32) of the hour of His coming, we are so absolutely certain of the fact of His coming. That is mostly applicable to the second coming of the Lord. But taken in the context of Advent, when does the Lord come to us? every day / every moment of our life. Only thing is that we have to identify Him in the little day to day events of our life. Where does He come? At our home, our schools, colleges, workplace, marketplace, business, on the bus / train, in the slum, in the prayer group, in the parish church, in the hospital - rather everywhere where there are human beings, He comes to us. Only thing is that we should recognize Him. How does he come? He may come as a friend, a teacher, a coworker, a superior, a beggar, a homeless person, a sick person, a hungry person, a lonely person, an enemy, a traitor, a helper,etc, etc,. He also may come through the word of God, the sacraments, the prayers, the fellowships, the services that we give and receive, the sharing in the family, the reaching out to the needy etc,. Only thing is that we should accept Him. Do not forget, BE ALERT AND WATCHFUL. POLITICALLY CORRECT --- These days people have a tendency to be politically correct in this season, even in greeting one another. A famous news channel was discussing how to make the greeting for the season 'politically correct', in order not to offend anybody. So they wanted to find out something to substitute happy Christmas, because it contains Christmas which has Christ in it]. How ridiculous, isn't it?? But that is the world in which we live. But let us not forget that Christ is 'THE reason for this season'. Let us not avoid Christ from Christmas. Be bold enough to wish everyone the peace and joy that ONLY CHRIST can give. Again BE ALERT, AND WATCHFUL. Wishing a very Fruitful Advent, Fr.

[JOYnet] Jesus youth in Malaysia - Our first prayer meeting was today !!!
Hai Friends, Yesterday, I slipped down and got a fracture on my left wrist, and so I was a bit disappointed. But today is the happiest day for me in Malaysia. Our first Jesus Youth prayer meeting took place here today with three persons! Two friends- Michael from Nagarkovil, Tamilnadu Biju from Kanjirappally, Kerala - whom I had met in the church, came to visit me. We have been desiring for a JY group for the last few weeks. Today when they came here, we just talked for a while (some kochu varthamanam) and then said to each other Lets pray for a while it happened just like a typical Jesus Youth prayer meeting, except that we could not sing any hymns since we didnt want to disturb others. But Lord guided us through Praise worship, Reading the Word of God and Intercession. Most importantly, Jesus has made our desire more strong, to canvass many others to Jesus youth, so that they too will taste this joy. We are hopeful of getting some more friends, whom we met in the church and somebody else who are working nearby. Also, hope that Jaison George in Kualalampur also will be able to find some time, though he is under very much work pressure. Hope, you remember my previous prayer request for a JY group getting evolved here in Malaysia. I am sure many of you were praying for this intension. I feel our loving Lord has started answering our prayers. Also, our JY friends in Singapore (Eddy chettan also was with them) prayed for me yesterday. Lord heard the prayer and He helped me to accept the pain, and has filled me with inner joy and all positive thoughts. Yes, now I am sure, this will be a turning point in my life since I will be getting enough time to be with God, and read The Word, and to be in touch with others through phone or mail. Please pray that my rest days (medical leave until 17th Decemer ) be a nice preparation period for Christmas, for me. I am really happy that this 17 days retreat starts today, on 1st December, the stating day of Advent. And another beautiful coincidence is that my birthday falls on 15th. Decmber. I promise to you and to our Lord that, this will be a transformation period in my life - from a Pathetic sinner into a Saint in training, as all JYs are called to be saints. Please pray that it come true. Dexon is planning to come here from Singapore, on Tuesday. Jesus has been utilizing him, for the last one and a half years as a powerful instrument in Singapore, in evolving a strong network of Jesus Youth there. Please pray that Lord will do the same thing here too. Also, I hope, we will get Santhosh Chettan in this week end to guide us. Also, Santhosh Chettan has introduced Dr.Xavier in Kualalampur for giving us constant guidance and support. (During his study in Bangalore , Dr.Xavier was active in the prayer group there and now in the Charismatic movement here too). Lets thank Jesus for His plans. Once again, I am asking your prayers for the growth of Jesus Youth in Malaysia. With love and prayers, Saju P.J Klang, Kualalmpur, Malaysia - With Yahoo!

[JOYnet] AIDS Day and Safe Sex ?
Clear Day Dear JYs, Today seems to tell us that AIDS is the largest epidemic that is catching up with the youth and the seniors . Why is the media harping only on 'safe sex' and not writing on the 'true sex'? Aren't the people still thinking that we can fool God by the so called 'safe sex' ? I don't think God ever thought of the so called 'safe sex' when He crated the whole idea of sex at all !! The fight against AIDS is all useless unless people become holy and lead an upright life. Isn't it? It is time that the people treat their body as a living temple of God's Grace. Halleluiah !!

[JOYnet] Teach me to forgive
Dear friends, surely this advent teaches us to be alert and watchfull which means be alert with repentance and forgiveness and watchfull for the lord who speaks to us at every moment. Teach me to forgive One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job. His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment and frustration. Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak tree to seek the one he knew would always be there, and with tears in his eyes, he prayed Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't know how. It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As perfect as your way is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I pray that you teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach me To Forgive. As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his eyes. Out of the corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt. He could not turn to see what it was because where the oak tree had been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his head and saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike through them. He raised his head more, and tears came to his eyes as he saw Jesus hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a gash in His side, a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head. Finally he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak. Have you ever told a lie, he asked? The man answered - yes Lord. Have you ever been given too much change and kept it? The man answered yes Lord. And the man sobbed more and more. Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours, Jesus asked? And the man answered yes Lord. Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain? The man, crying now, answered yes Lord. As Jesus asked many more times, Have you ever? The man's crying became uncontrollable, for he could only answer yes Lord. Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the man felt something fall on his other shoulder. He looked and saw that it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen or known before. Jesus said, I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you. It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something, but when you look back in life, you realize how true this statement is Read the first line slowly and let it sink in. This is simple, and important. Read onThis first line is deep. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it. Lord I love You and I need You, come into my heart, Today. For without You I can do nothing. God bless you.

Re:[JOYnet] Jesus is not 'just' Great
Dear All Dear Prejomy that was a great Sharing on suffering. I would also like to share some similar experiences During my journey home this weekend I had some similar exp like these. Although I could not offer it then after reading ur mail I was able to suffer it with christ. I was expecting to go by a particular Travels and booked the ticket. But when the bus came it was a Bus by another Travels(Had I known I would not have booked). Since the # of people who go in afternoon was less they had a joint venture. Two Travels collaborated and put up a Bus that I did not like Travelling with. It was very very slow and took almost 5 hours. On getting down I got a bus that takes me to my house's doorstep. I thanked the Lord for seeing that I was late and got this particular bus. But to my dismay I found that they had changed route and I had to walk about 1.5 KM. Praise the Lord that I was able to say a decade of rosary (I couldn't complete it as I drawn into some other thing)and reach home dear all I want to throw light to the fact that if we can see our God shining in all our adversaries then as Micheal Jackson sings we can Heal the World Make it a better place For U and for Me and the entire Universe shobith [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Join SQAtester.com Community --- http://www.sqatester.com/testersarea/joinus.htm _ Select your own custom email address for FREE!
