[JOYnet] FW: Healing in Wellington

Dear friends in Jesus 

This is the witnessing of Joseph 73 years of age in Wellington
who was healed of his partial deafness and when the Lord touched.
Praise the Lord

Subject: Healing


Dear Fr Thomas

As all members of the family and friends know, I have been partly deaf
for
several years now. My wife and our sons have been pressurising me to get
myself a hearing-aid because I could not even participate in the
conversation at the dining table except with the persons sitting close
to
me. But I kept putting it off saying if the Lord wants me to improve my
hearing He should either give me the money for a hearing-aid or heal me.
Most of the time I missed the Word of God being proclaimed at Mass. But
I
found a solution for that by reading the Missal before going to church.
In
fact it turned out to be a much needed preparation for the Mass and I
considered my partial deafness as a blessing indeed.

After you touched my ears and prayed over me I felt a dull pain deep
within
my ear-drums and a warmth around my ears. As I walked back to my seat I
realised with joy that I have experienced some healing. I then asked my
wife
to whisper in my ears any sweet nothing and I could hear her whereas in
the
past I would not be able to hear if she spoke to me softly in the
church. So
we went on with our experiment for a little while with joy and
excitement.
A friend of ours who was obviously watching all the carryings-on between
us
wondered what the matter was with both of us. Then when I stood up and
gave
testimony to my healing her curiosity was answered.

Before the healing I could not even hear the alarm clock beside my bed
even
when I lie awake, and my wife has to drag herself over me to put it
off.!!
This morning I could hear it well as I was lying awake.

Thank you Fr.Thomas for being an instrument of God for healing my
partial
deafness. As Jesus said to his apostles that they would perform even
greater
miracles, may the Lord bless your ministry and truly empower you to do
greater works of mercy for His glory.

Thank you once again for bringing healing to me.

With love and prayers

Yours sincerely in the Blessed Lord

Joseph.

2002-12-06 Thread Francis Felix Coutinho
hi Sanju,
I liked your sharing but I beg to differ on some thing you wrote 
let me quote you ( please forgive me if I have mis-interpreted you 
and correct me)  Any evangelization work driven by human 
intellect and not driven by the Holy Spirit is bound to fail. We 
see some christian churches(other than the catholic church) 
steadily growing around the world simply bcos they go by the 
directions given by the Holy Spirit.
 1. most of these so called christian churches started from the 
16th centuary. where was the holy spirit before that ?
 2. countless of these christian churches have come and gone.
 3. I personally believe that these churches/evangelization work 
is  driven by human intellect.
 4. the catholic church began in ther UPPER ROOM and it still 
exists to this day and will forever praise GOD.
 5. PLEASE let me know what you meant by(other than the catholic 
church).I love the chatholic Church with all my heart I love the 
pope, the bishops, every thing about the Catholic church. Jesus 
him self gave us the pope from St. Peter, I have never heard of 
any dissagrement about that, but there is disunity in the other 
churches.
 6. Where do these christian churches get their followers from ? 
do they take the trouble of converting non-christians or do they 
target catholics ?
 7. how many of these christian churches believe in MOTHER MARY 
and all the saints GOD himself has given us.

I can write endlessly on this topic. I spend a lot of my time 
watching EWTN (eternal word television network), a catholic 
channel on TV, there are programmes of a lot of ministers or 
pastors of these christian churches who have embrased  catholisism 
. If you have the oppurtinity do read this book ROME SWEET HOME 
by Scott  Kimberly Hanns. it is their road to becoming Catholics. 
Scott was a pastor.
Once again I ask forgiveness of those I have hurt or offended by 
my Comments, specially I ask God and the Holy Spirit forgiveness 
if I have said something wrong. This is to everone never doubt the 
strength and power of the Catholic Church in sheparding it flock 
of sheep.

Your in CHRIST and a chatholic forever,
Francis

On Thu, 05 Dec 2002 Sanju Joseph wrote :
This was a good sharing. I think the key to the
concern of teaching the truth to the non believers is
also touched on this :

Here the Holy Spirit helped
 the listeners to identify Jesus as the Saviour
 because they heard the Truth  (unless they r really
 hardened :-) and invite Him into their lives.

It is worhty to note that even the Apostles who lived
and heard Jesus had this passing phase where they had
to wait upon the Lord in fear and anxiety(of
persecution and disagreement) after Jesus
Resurrection. But things changed when the Holy Spirit
came upon them in the Upper Room. We see the thirst to
share the Good News of Lord Jesus Christ so strong in
St. Peter that he  gives a spirited(Holy spirit
filled) talk which converted 3000 people to believers
of Lord Jesus Christ with just that one talk. Any
evangelization work driven by human intellect and not
driven by the Holy Spirit is bound to fail. We see
some christian churches(other than the catholic
church) steadily growing around the world simply bcos
they go by the directions given by the Holy Spirit. Of
course - constant intercession, our own way of life,
fasting, sacraments, seeking the will of God in
anything and everything are some of the many keys to
spread the Gospel effectively.

Prayerful Regards
Sanju

There is one saint who is indian by birth - St.

at Vasai Fort,
the cradle of Christianity in Mumbai in 1557.  His

His martyrdom was in the cross and it happend on 5th

Today while reading the new sathydeepam site only I
found this
information. Don't know why the sufferings of this
saint was not
included in our catechism books. But the story of St.

is a really inspiring one. He lived for his Lord and
he died in the

If anybody in  joynet from vasai, please write more

[JOYnet] Recall notice

2002-12-06 Thread Roshan
RECALL NOTICE 
==
The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured,
regardless
of make or year, due to the serious defect in the primary and central
component
of the heart. 

This is due to a willful malfunction in the original prototype units code
named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all
subsequent units. 

This defect has been technically termed, Sub-sequential Internal
Non-morality,
or more commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily expressed. 

Some other symptoms: 

[a] Loss of direction [b] Foul vocal emissions [c] Amnesia of origin [d]
Lack of peace and joy [e] Selfish or violent behavior [f] Depression or
confusion
in the mental component [g] Fearfulness [h] Idolatry [i] Rebellion 

The Manufacturer, Who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is
providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge to correct
this SIN defect. 

The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the
entire
burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee
required. 

The toll free number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. 

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE
procedure.


Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart
component. 

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:


[a] Love [b] Joy [c] Peace [d] Patience [e] Kindness [f] Goodness [g]
Faithfulness
[h] Gentleness [i] Self-control 

Please see the operating manual, HOLY BIBLE, for further details on the use
of these fixes. 

As an added upgrade, the Manufacturer has made available to all repaired
units a facility enabling direct monitoring and assistance from a resident
Maintenance Technician, The Holy Ghost. 

Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up permanent
residence
on the premises! 

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction
voids
the Manufacturer's warranty, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too
numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently
impounded.


For free emergency service, call on JESUS. 

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will
have
to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to
enter
Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. 

Thank you for your attention.


Best Regards
Roshan

[JOYnet] Small Beginnings GREATER ends

2002-12-06 Thread Berly Earnest
Dear JOYful netters,
 I do not know if you already know , the Indian parliament has passed an
MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) Bill yesterday , providing for rigorous
imprisonment  for a minimum of 2 years for terminating pregnancy at a Place
not approved by the Government.
Now ,what has this got to do with us ?  If you remember it was some months
back that 3 of our JYs Sunny chettan, Adv. Shiny and Alexy(Couple) who
initiated this move ,by travelling  throughout Kerala  meeting with
people-politicians,our Bishops and many high level authorities- telling them
about  the MTP's/Abortions taking place here and of the value of life. They
had managed to bring it up in the Kerala assembly with the help of an MP from
Kerala .Another person who took a keen interest in this is Fr.Panackal from
Divine Retreat Centre,Muringoor. The trio had even been to delhi to meet the
Politicians there.
In the initial stages many had asked our prolifers - Will it really change
things at the top - But then today the parliament having passed such a bill is
a reminder to us that ..small beginnings will have greater ends as we keep
pursuing goals that will build God's Kingdom. Praise God!

Mother Teresa's Mystical Experiences: Origin of Her Work
Letter Published Revealing Words of Christ

ROME, NOV. 29, 2002 (Zenit.org).- It would be hard to understand Mother Teresa of 
Calcutta's work without being aware of the mystical experiences she had, which were 
the origin of her foundation of the Missionaries of Charity, and impelled her to don a 
sari and go out into the streets to care for the poorest of the poor.

The visions she had were revealed by the religious in a letter addressed to Archbishop 
Ferdinand Perier of Calcutta, through her spiritual director, Jesuit Father Celeste 
Van Exem.

The passages of her letter, dated Dec. 3, 1947, in which she reveals a disturbing 
interior struggle as well as the vision of what eventually would be her work, have now 
been published by Missionary of Charity Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of the 
cause of beatification, in an article that appears in ZENIT (Nov. 28 and today) and in 
the new Web page dedicated to the cause (www.motherteresacause.info).

At that time, Mother Teresa worked in Calcutta, India, as a religious of the Sisters 
of Loreto. During her prayer, Christ asked her to go out into the streets and proclaim 
him among the abandoned of India, especially girls.

How could I? she wrote. I have been and am very happy as a Loreto nun. To leave 
that what I love and expose myself to new labors and suffering, which will be great, 
to the laughingstock of so many, especially religious, to cling and choose 
deliberately the hard things of an Indian life, to loneliness and ignominy, to 
uncertainty? And all because Jesus wants it, because something is calling me to leave 
all and gather the few to live His life, to do His work in India.

In her prayers, particularly her Communions, Jesus constantly asked her: 'Wilt thou 
refuse? When there was a question of Thy soul I did not think of Myself but gave 
Myself freely for thee on the Cross and now, what about thee? Wilt thou refuse? I want 
Indian nuns, victims of my love.' Mother Teresa explained all this in a letter to her 
spiritual director and to the archbishop.

My own Jesus, what you ask is beyond me, the then Sister Mary Teresa responded. I 
can hardly understand half of the things you want. I am unworthy. I am sinful. I am 
weak. Go, Jesus, and find a more worthy soul, a more generous one.

Are you afraid now to take one more step for Your Spouse, for Me, for souls? Christ 
said, according to the nun. Is your generosity grown cold? Am I a second to you? You 
did not die for souls. That is why you don't care what happens to them. Your heart was 
never drowned in sorrow as was my Mother's. We both gave our all for souls, and you? 
You are afraid that you will lose your vocation, you will become a secular, you will 
be wanting in perseverance.

No -- your vocation is to love and suffer and save souls and by taking the step you 
will fulfil My Heart's desire for you. You will dress in simple Indian clothes or 
rather like My Mother dressed, simple and poor. Your present habit is holy because it 
is My symbol. Your sari will become holy because it will be My symbol, Christ 
insisted, according to the text.

Jesus, my own Jesus, I am only Thine, the nun answered. I am so stupid. I do not 
know what to say, but do with me whatever you wish, as you wish, as long as you wish. 
I love you not for what you give, but for what You take. Jesus, why can't I be a 
perfect Loreto nun, a real victim of Your love here? Why can't I be like everybody 
else? Look at the hundreds of Loreto nuns who have served You perfectly, who are now 
with you. Why can't I walk the same path and come to you?

She added: Don't allow me to be deceived, I am so afraid. This fear makes me see how 
much I love myself. I am afraid of the suffering that will come by living life in the 
Indian way, dressing like them, eating with them, sleeping with them, living with them 
without ever being able to do anything that I will. To what degree my own convenience 
has taken possession of my soul.

Christ calmed her by describing what the future would be like: I want Indian nuns, 
Missionaries of Charity, who would be my fire of love amongst the poor, the sick, the 
dying, and the little children. The poor I want you to bring to me and the Sisters 
that would offer their lives as victims of My love will bring these souls to Me. You 
are, I know, the most incapable person, weak and sinful, but just because you are 
that, I want to use you for My glory. Will Thou refuse?
 
'Little one, give me souls, Jesus insisted, according to the nun. Give me the souls 
of the poor little street children. How it hurts, if you only knew, to see these poor 
children soiled with sin. I long for the purity of their love. If you would only

[JOYnet] Time for God - A poem

2002-12-06 Thread sheril daniel
TIME FOR GOD

I knelt to pray but not for long,  
I had too much to do.  
I had to hurry and get to work  
For bills would soon be due.  
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,  
And jumped up off my knees.  
My Christian duty was now done  
My soul could rest at ease.  
All day long I had no time  
To spread a word of cheer.  
No time to speak of Christ to friends,  
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.  
No time, no time, too much to do,  
That was my constant cry,  
No time to give to souls in need  
But at last the time, the time to die.  
I went before the Lord,  
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.  
For in his hands God held a book;  
It was the book of life.  
God looked into his book and said  
Your name I cannot find.  
I once was going to write it down...  
But never found the time

[JOYnet] FOR US JOYNETTERS

2002-12-06 Thread FR. THOMAS THARAYIL
Dear Friends,
As we know these are the days the joynetters in different nations become more 
close through national gatherings and other such events. Why not the joynetters in 
the USA at least come to know each other, before we even think of coming together, 
which we may plan in a long term.  So here is what I propose : all those who are 
members of the joynet, including the members of JYA, please send a reply to me in my 
personal id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The mail shall include your name, present address, tele.no, how long you have been in 
the 'net', profession (optional), married / single; if married the name of the partner 
+ children if any, where in Kerala are you from, and what ministry / zone did you 
belong to in India in JY. I think that is enough for a good database for now. OK, Let 
us start with the true JY spirit and do it in one week. Once I get all the names I 
will coordinate them and send to all so that we can know each other and think of 
something more. God bless.

[JOYnet] Sharing Jesus-How sweet it is?

2002-12-06 Thread Prejomy Jose
Dear all,

Yesterday also I had a great experience. I was on my return Journey from 
Dubai to Jabel Dhana where I work. I was accompanied with one of my 
colleauge. As usual, I started chatting with him and turned the topic into 
Jesus. Initially he critized me regarding the Conversion to christianity. 
(He 'was' - really I mean it; now I feel WAS - a Hindu proline activist).

During the 31/2 hrs journey we were continously talking regarding Jesus. 
Then I took the Trum Card - KERYGMA and gave it to him. My dear friends, I 
couldn't beleive, he stopped arguing and listened to me carefuly. At last we 
together prayed in the name of Jesus.

Then, he - seems to be an introward, opened his heart infront of me. He 
shared me about his sufferings and other personal problems. I could feel 
Jesus  Holy Sprit changing his mind in those 3 1/2 hrs.

OK, you guys and gals may be thinking what is this KERYGMA. I'm preparing a 
small note on it and hopefully shall paste it on tommorrow. (Smitha  Cuckoo 
may really annoyed and angry with me but forgive me in the name of Jesus. 
(It is also my style of evangilization to create curosity about Jesus in 
others heart so that they will grasp it easily - really funny na, ha ha 
ha)).

Also as we are 1000+, if we are sharing Jesus to atleast 1 person a week how 
great it will be?

And if it works, the title THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH' will be a reality. Let 
us dream on it and work on it.

With lot of love  prayers in Jesus

delight for me to receive Jesus atleast twice a day
through the Holy Communion. 

  But at the same time I have personally
experienced the power of the spirit of unity while
praying with my brothers and sisters in other
Christian denomination. Three years before when I was
in Chennai we used to meet during our lunch breaks in
a CSI church near my office. There were 2 catholics(I
being one of them) , 2 protestants from the Jesus
Calls ministry and a CSI girl. And I can personally
testify the power of God in those prayer meetings. Two
of these protestant boys fasted and bought the tickets
for the Rex Band programme(which is hardcore catholic
in nature , Praise God for that) sponsored and brought
their Hindu friends to this programme.

 We see the best example of this lack of spirit of
unity between catholics and protestants in Northern
Ireland where neighbours kill each other just bcos
he/she is a catholic / protestant. The devil is surely
winning when the passion for your church turns into
animosity and judging towards another church. Just
imagine yourself in a VHP or Bajrang Dal stronghold in
North India  proclaiming the Word of God.. They will
hit you not bcos you are a Catholic or a Protestant
but bcos you are speaking the Good News of Lord Jesus
Christ. 

I personally think we should appreciate and
thank God for the catholic church and the immense
power that we had inherited through its sacraments but
at the same time we should look for the good things in
other Christian denominations.


In Jesus
