[JOYnet] God's Wierd Sense of Humour
Okies this Mail has been a Ravi prompted mail since he has been after me so long to share this across. Sorry if its a wee bit long :) Around four years ago when I didnt feel I was in need of a job the lord presented to me this job which I am currently working for. I never knew why I had to work. I was just in college completing my B.Sc. Then after I joined this small place of work my father who was on his way recovering from Cancer, his health started deteriorating. We started entering into a phase of Financial Debt and if I didnt have this job which I am working for at present I dont know what I or my family would have done. After my Dad expired the job which I had was all that I had to cling onto for stability for myself, my education and my home. Not to forget the huge loans which we had incurred on account of Dad's sickness. My job in the meanwhile started getting more demanding and I started getting more exposure. We basically deal with Company Law as my boss is a reputed CS. As my boss also had his own financial company I was asked to handle all the accounts of the Company and its branch in Calcutta. [I wasnt an Accounts student then]. However, the cliche was when last year my boss asked me to handle all correspondence work for an Organisation known as Bharat Vikas Parishad which is affiliated to the R.S.S. [u know dem anti-who rite ???]. Let me tell you that the computer [the lord's blessing to me] in my office has been my only medium for me being on Joynet and also has been the main source in enabling me to be there for many of my new found spiritual friends. Since I handle three types of work, my salary comes in three parts. So as Ravi always tells me (infact keeps telling everyone.) "Here is Jason... who does the work of Christ and gets paid by those who are against Christ. The very resources provided by those who are against Christ is being used to spread the word of Christ" ;) God really works in funny ways. This January I was facing a tough task of leaving my job. I prayed ... and prayed, I felt as though I had to leave.. there was one part of me that was telling me to quit and another telling me to stay. While on the outside I wanted to leave on the inside I wanted to stay. So oneday after dedicating the day to the lord for his will I told my boss that I decided to quit as my B.Com exams are near. My boss not only granted me paid leave for my exams, but now he also decided to raise my salary. Praise the Lord. Anyways I got my exams on the 20th of this month. So do pray for me. I wont be able to catch up for Joynet for over a month. Take care urs in faith Jason Mumbai, India.

Thanks : RE: [JOYnet] Help reqd from JY Chennai
Thanks a lot Jomon, Joseph John and all, Infact my friend was sent to chennai HQ on a 1 month trng from Bangalore. After the training they wanted him to stay back in channai. thats why he asked me about a JY accomodation. But he wanted to be in bangalore. One reason because of the less distance to his house and also because most of his close friends are here. Finally Yesterday night he called me up to say, His transfer to chennail was cancelled by the VP of his company He will have to work in some other place near to mangalore, which is even more closer to his house Glory be to the Lord forever.

[JOYnet] Power of Intercession
In Christ Dear friends, I am Joseph Tharayil from Indore. Intercession is a very powerful instrument. It is sure that if we intercede for someone Our Lord will grand it, because - All are the beloved ones of Our Lord, specially the needy ones. - When we intercede for some one, Our Lord will not see our merits, because we are interceding for His beloved ones, so he will grand it. - When we intercede for some one, Our Lord will bless us too, because we are interceding for His beloved ones and so we will become dearer to Him. - When we intercede, we are bringing blessing to the one for whom we are praying, we are bringing blessings to ourselves, and we are bringing blessings to the community in which we are living like the boy who shared his five bread and two fish, with which more than 5000 people were satisfied. Intercession paves way for miracles to happen-. While interceding we are keeping aside our selfishness, this will cause for spiritual growth and maturity. It is a small but powerful weapon to come across huge obstacles, like the one which David used to Goliath. Let this be our weapon in this Lent to prepare us for Easter. Please keep the following persons in your prayers. -Fr. Aikara, Ex director of Prarthanalaya Indore Diocesan Charismatic Renewal center. He met with a car accident and is suffering from multiple fractures in right leg. He is a gift of Our Lord for many. -Jancy and Biju, good and active Jesus Youth. Jancy is expecting and the date is so close, she had some complications, so she is badly in need of prayer. Biju is looking for a job, as they are preparing to receiver the new comer, you can imagin thir situation. -Beena, wish to grow in spirit. She is married to the person who is now a days an active Pentecost activist. There are severe clash among them in the name of belief. She is trying to cope with her in-laws. She is a nurse in Gulf , and will be coming for leave soon. At home there is ban for Mass and Communion. Please pray that the Holy Spirit guide her. Please keep them in your good is the Lord in His Promises When you have done for these little ones, you have done it for me JOSEPH THARAYIL === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] hello friends
Hello friends, Greetiungs in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ! I have a prayer request to make. I have got ajob recently by the grace of our Lord God Jesus Christ.

[JOYnet] ASHES ARE WE]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Dear Friends, Today is Ash Wednesday; one of the beautiful ceremonial days of the liturgical year. This day the holy mother Church reminds us the basic truth about our life, "YOU ARE DUST AND UNTO DUST SHALL YOU RETURN" How powerful are those words, and how meaningful. However we try to hide from it or manipulate it, the truth remains. Whoever we are, how ever great we are, ultimately we all will have to turn into dust or ashes. Whether wealthy or poor, educated or illiterate, healthy or sick, beautiful or ugly, white or black, tall or short, man or women, young or old, the president or the pope, everybody is bound to this unavoidable end]]] This truth calls us to be humble, sincere and truthful before the Lord. In fact this is not a threatening reality, instead a comforting and encouraging fact. As a loving mother the Church is trying to teach us to be good, looking forward to the eternal glory - the glory of resurrection. So as we begin this holy season of Lent, let us pray that the Lord grant us His humility and Simplicity. May God bless you all during this Lent. Fr.

[JOYnet] TODAY`S SAINT........ST.CASIMIR
MARCH 4TH 2003 ST.CASIMIR PRINCE CONFESSOR(1458-1484) LIFE: St.Casimir was the second son of King Casimir IV of Poland and the virtuousElizabeth of Austria , recieved his early educationfrom the deeply religious Canon John Dugosz, the polish historian, who later become Archbishop of Lemberg.At the age of 9 he was already a remarkable for his piety , and a young Prince he would often spend long night hours kneeling before locked doors of churches , oblivious to the inclemency of the weather.His charity towards the poor knew no bounds, which earned him the title of *The father and Defender of the poor and wretched** Casimir had a particularly ardent devotion to our Lady, whom he addressed as his "Good Mother", and he would daily recite on his knees St.Anselm of Canterbury`s tender hymn " Daily daily sing to Mary ..." During his Father`s prolonged absence in Luthiania, the saintly young prince administered the State of Poland from 1481 to 1483 with pronounced success, Returned to prayer and study, maintained his decision to remain celibate even under pressure to marry the emperor's daughter. He died at the age of 26 at the very hour which had been revealed to him.He was canonized by Pope Adrean VI in 1522. One hundred and twenty -two years after his death his body was found to be still incurrupt. PATRONAGE: bachelors, kings, Lithuania, Poland, princes , invoked against plague REFLECTION: ** As a stout staff supports the trembling limbs of a feeble old man, so does faith sustain our vacillating mind, lest it be tossed about by sinful hesitation and perplexity***( St.John Chrysostom) COMMENT: What is there on earth which can engage the affections of a Christian, or be the object of his ambition, in whose soul God desires to establish his kingdom? Whoever has conceived a just idea of this immense happiness and dignity must look upon all the glittering bubbles of this world as empty and vain, and consider every thing in this life barely as it can advance or hinder the great object of all his desires. Few arrive at this happy and glorious state, because scarce any one seeks it with his whole heart, and has the courage sincerely to renounce all things and die to himself: and this precious jewel cannot be purchased upon any other terms. The kingdom of God can only be planted in a soul upon the ruins of self-love: so we adoreThee O Christ and we bless Thee,Because of Thy Holy Cross Thou ha s redeemed the world!

[JOYnet] The fast which i ask of u........
reminding Mum`s messege for lent. *** Walk along the road of penance and mortification. (1) I`m asking bodily fasting of u as a means of mortifying ur senses, for making reparation for the widespread deciet by which so many of my children are seduced today, driven as they r to seek happiness only in the complete satisfaction of material pleasures and those of the senses... (2).i`m also asking for spiritual fasting from ufrom every evil, so that u may be nourished only by what is good , by Grace and by love.the food of the word of God nourishes u spiritually & strengthens ur existance in the life of Grace.. (3)..i`m asking u for fasting of mind, preserving it from all error as u welcome the truth which Jesus has revealed to u. (4)..i`m asking u for the fasting of heart,, closing it to all disordered attachment to urself , to goods and creatures.. (5) ..i`m asking u for fasting of the soul, by holding it at a distance from any sin , even little ones, in such way that it can be nourished by the light of Grace.. let the custom , which is so useful, of frequent confessions, return. if u carry out this fast u will build around urselves a strong barrier to the spread of evil & sin, and u will offer the Lord a holocaust of immolation and reparation , to obtain the return of many of my poor sinful children to Him. in this way u will become instrument of my peace, u will spread peace of hearts around u, walking along the road which ur heavenly Mother is tracing out for u.. ( from HER, on march 16, 1985 --Don Stefano Gobbi) we adoreThee O Christ and we bless Thee,Because of Thy Holy Cross Thou ha s redeemed the world! S.THOMAS NOTTINGHAM ENGLAND - With Yahoo!

Re: [JOYnet] Notes on Ignatian discernment
- dear anil, wouldn't kow how old u are, but never the less would like to share with u some information on an Ignatian retreat. i'm presently doing my 2nd week under my spiritual director Fr. James Thamburaj S.J.if u know any jesuit pls do meet with him and believe me it is really a beautiful retreat especially for ppl who have grown in the Lord. i've visited the site u mentioned a long time ago and it is very good indeed. i've got two books on Ignatian spirituality and Discernment but they are very difficult to understand on first reading, it'll be nice to have a jesuit as a spiritual director. books -a- must -read are "The spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius" by LOUIS PUHL S.J and "DISCERNMENT" by Rex Pai S.J and also "THE TESTAMENT AND TESTIMONY" which is an autobiography of the life of St. Ignatius. ok then, love and prayers, michelle -- Anil Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear All, > > Visit www.jesuit.org.sg/html/prayer_direct.htm to > get Notes on > the Ignatian discernment from the talk by Fr.Philip > Heng S.J.

Mr. Hans Blix - Chief of weapon inspection Team and the NATO Union leaders, Leaders among United Nations and other important world leaders and GCC leaders.Only our God can touch their mind and twist from the wrong direction which has to be lead the world in to verse condition.
