RE: [JOYnet] Carrying The Cross.... v/s Prosperity Gospel

2003-03-21 Thread Binu Asokan
Hi Joynetters,

Smiju said - "But Jesus showed us how to transform our pain into LIFE:
by offering it to God. Jesus asked us to pick up that cross of pain and
follow him. This enables us to grow spiritually so that we can better
serve the needs of others".

How beautiful it is !!! St Paul says - "Let me not have anything to
boast of save the Cross of our Lord Jesus, through whom the world is
crucified to me, and I to the world." - Gal 6:14

As so many references came on JOYnet regarding Prosperity Gospel, I
would like to share my view on that. I used to watch Miracle NET channel
which is gaining popularity day by day. I liked it coz of the powerful
preaching of the Word of God, which at times did help me. But gradually
I began to realize the hidden danger that comes wrapped up in the word
of God. I am writing this especially for those in JOYnet who still like
these programmes. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, they are preaching
that suffering, pains etc. are a curse, and "they are never our GOOD
GOD's will". I've seen Benny Hinn making fun of Catholic faith referring
to its teachings that sufferings can be due to God's will and great
blessings can be achieved from it.

St. Paul expresses his concern over some churches in his letter to
Philippians.
"Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep youe eyes fixed on those who
act according to the example you have from me. For there are so many
people of whom I have often warned you, and I warn you again with tears
in my eyes, who behave like enemies of Christ's cross." - Phil 3: 17-18.

"It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to
make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for
the sake of His body, the Church." - Col 1:24

Yes my dear friends, we do have the privilege to suffer for Jesus & His
Church. And indeed WE ARE MAKING UP FOR ALL SUFFERINGS JESUS HAVE TO
UNDERGO. We being His body can fulfill and complement His sufferings.

"Hold on to the CROSS tightly.." says Mother Mary to Fr. Stefano Gobbe
in one among the series of visions given to him, " for the CROSS has
always defeated all the attacks of the enemy, and it always will."

God bless you all.

Subject: [JOYnet] Carrying The Cross

You may be rich. You may be famous. You may be on the top of the world.
But 
pal, if you're a human being, you still have a cross to bear. It may be
a 
birth defect, or a physical or mental chalenge, or a disease or
psychosis. 
For some it may be brokenness from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
May 
be it's a dysfunctional family, poverty, or unemployment.

Whatever it is, each person knows his or her cross, becuase it's usually
the 
thing we try to run away from. We avoid the pain. But Jesus showed us
how to 
transform our pain into LIFE: by offering it to God. Jesus asked us to
pick 
up that cross of pain and follow him. This enables us to grow
spiritually so 
that we can better serve the needs of others.

Yes, we'll all have crosses. The difference is, a Christian carries the 
cross with the help of Christ. And that's how our cross leads us 
to...eternal life!

with love & prayers

[JOYnet] "Remember the Duck"

2003-03-21 Thread Mary Paul
Remember The Duck
=

Author Unknown



There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. And he
was given a slingshot to play without in the woods. he practiced in the
woods, but he could never hit the target. And getting a little
discouraged; he headed back to dinner. As he was walking back he saw
Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let fly, hit the duck square
in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he
hid the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister watching. Sally
had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch that day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But
Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen
today, didn't you Johnny?" And then she whispered to him, "Remember, the
duck?" So Johnny did the dishes. Later Grandpa asked if the children
wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to
help make supper." But Sally smiled and said, "Well, that's all right
because Johnny told me he wanted to help." And she whispered again,
"Remember, the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed. After
several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's, he finally
couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he
killed the duck. She knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I
know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing.
But because I love you, I forgave you. But I was just wondering how long
would you let Sally make a slave of you."

I don't know what's in your past. I don't know what one sin the enemy
keeps throwing up in your face. But whatever it is, I want you to know
something. Jesus Christ was standing at the window. And He saw the whole
thing. But because He loves you, He has forgiven you. Perhaps He's
wondering how long you'll let the enemy make a slave out of you. The
great thing about God is that He not only forgives, but He forgets!!!

Dear Joynet Administrator,

We have many Prayer Groups that are willing and ready to pray for urgent needs of 
others. Is difficult for individuals to maintain a list of all their addresses. Can 
you please create a link on the website to a page that permanently displays all such 
contacts.

So that in times of trouble/need we can go to our website (jesusyouth.org) and mail to 
all the links with our urgent requests.

Please give this a thought.

Praise The Lord !

[JOYnet] PRAY FOR ALL IN WAR

2003-03-21 Thread FR. THOMAS THARAYIL
Dear Friends,
Now that the war is under way we must pray for all who are being affected by 
it in one way or other. There are many who are suffering; physically and mentally. Let 
us not stop praying for peace. 
   At this point let us remember, in a special way, the people of Iraq & Kuwait. 
Let us keep in mind very specially our fellow JYs in all the middle east, especially 
Kuwait. So also let us pray for the soldiers, their families, and above all for the 
leaders who are involved. Ultimately may we hope and pray that even out of this 
painful and tragic situation something good will come out in the infinite plan of God.
 Dear JY friends in the war stricken zones, we offer you our prayers. Our 
thoughts and hearts go out with you.. May the Lord who protected His people in olden 
days still keep you from all harm. We, the JYA offer our special prayers for you as we 
come together tomorrow for the "Renew Toronto WYD-2002".

[JOYnet] Re: one small good news

2003-03-21 Thread Bincy Abraham
Hi friends, i had requested for all your prayers for my studies and job
search and i thank all of you again from the heights and depths of my
heart truly b/c i have really felt and experienced the blessings and
graces showered upon me through all your prayer support, love, and
care  i found out this last Mon that I had MATCHED--meaning that i
would be blessed with a residency training job as of July. one month ago,
i was going through lots of confusion about specialty choice and stress
of job interviews and i turned to the WORD for comfort and answers and
what i received was Daniel 3:39-40: "With a contrite heart and humble
spirit let us be received..For those who trust in the Lord will not be
put to shame." Praise the Lord!! on Thur i found out where-- RESURRECTION
Hospital in North Chicago, IL (only 20 minutes from my house by car and
near new JYC headquarters) for the field of FAMILY PRACTICE (meaning i
can medically care for people ages 1 to end of life, do pediatrics,
female medicine/obstetrics/gynecology, adult medicine, geriatrics, and
even a little bit of pyschiatry)--- this was my first choice
hospital. it is the central hospital of the largest chain of Catholic
Hosp in Chicago under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Resurrection. I
loved the Catholic environment with all its values (no birth control
pills, no abortions, i can speak about God freely, etc) and the faculty
and other senior residents were so friendly and supportive. i felt at
home during the interview... i never prayed for this hospital or this
field but for GOD's WILL to be done in my professional life and all
aspects of my life!!! since i was a child (since i could remember) i
DREAMED of becoming a doctor and making people feel better. in highschool
and early college, i PLANNED/HOPED on pursing a career in medicine.
during my last two years of college, i surrendered all my
DREAMS/PLANS/HOPES to the LORD and i prayed, "Lord if this is not what
you will for me, take it away; i am willing to give up all of my plans so
that your plans (which are better and more beautiful than i can ever
imagine mine to be) can prevail in my life!!! it wasn't easy for me to do
this at all but i felt that once i experienced the LOVE of JESUS in my
life, i only wanted to do what HE willed for me and be lead by HIS
plans!!! now when i look back, this surrendering truly has blessed my
medical studies and helped me to be where i am today!!! i completely
surrender myself and my call to healing in the hands of Jesus and i pray
daily to Jesus and Mother Mary that i be able to heal in the image of the
GREATEST PHYSICIAN-JESUS CHRIST and i request all of your prayers so i be
able to live upto what the Lord calls me to be i have 4 more weeks of
clinical rotations (i am doing cardiology now)... i will be done with my
medical school rotations second week of April...if God permits, i will be
also goign to visit my family in India in MAY...i will get my MD diploma
May 31 and graduation is Mon June 2 in NY. Work/healing ministry will
start end of July/early July thank you all again so much!!! Luv n
Prayers, Bincy :=) CHICAGO

[JOYnet] TODAY`S SAINT........ST NICHOLAS DE FLUE

2003-03-21 Thread rose maria
   21st   MARCH   2003
   ST.NICHOLAS  DE  FLUE
 (  1417--1487)
LIFE:


   Nicholas   was born near  the  Lake  of  the  four  Cantons,  in  Switzerland.As   
a  young  man  he  was  for  some  years  a  soldier,  fighting  for  his  native  
Canton  and  rising  to  the  rank  of  a  captian.He  then  married  Dorothy  Wyss   
&  was  blessed  with   an  offspring  of  ten  children.A  respected  citizen  ,  he  
took  an  active  part  in  the  civil  and  polictical  life   of  his  country   and 
 held  office  as  councillor   and  magistrate  --all  the  while  spending   whole  
nights  in prayer.
   At  the  age  of  50,  in  1467,  after  a  vision  of  the  Blessed  Trinity,  he  
resolved  that  he  must  leave  all  and  go   away  to  live   entirely   for  
God.Having  obtained  the  consent  of   his  wife  and  arranged  the  affairs  of  
the  family, he  retired  to  the   mountains  of  solitude  of  Ranft,  where  the  
people  soon  built  him   aliitle  cell  and  chapel. Here  he  spent  the  last  
twenty  years  in  prayer  and  great  austerity  .Many  witnesses  have  testified  
that   during  those  years  he  took  neither  food  or  drink,  but  only  Holy  
Communion.
   **Brother  Klaus ** as  he  was  popularly  known,  was  greatly  venerated  even  
beyond  the  swiss  border.People  high  and  low  flocked  to  his  cell  to  seek  
counsel  and  prayer. His reputation for sanctity spread, and he attracted spiritual 
students. In 1481 he was called on to mediate a dispute that threatened civil war in 
Switzerland. He succeeded in averting the conflict, then retired to his hermitage. He 
is considered by many to be the father of this country, honored by both Swiss 
Protestants and Catholics for his wisdom, holiness and work to unify Switzerland. 
   He  died  on21 March 1487 of natural causes with his wife and children at his side 
Canonized 
   1947 by Pope Pius XII 
PATRONAGE:
   councilmen, difficult marriages, large families, magistrates, parents of large 
families, separated spouses, Switzerland 
REFLECTION:

" O  my  Lord  and  my  God,  take  from me  all  that keeps  me  from 
u,

  O  my  Lord   and  my God,  give  me  all  that  brings me  nearer  
to  u,

O  my  Lord   and  my  God,  take  myself  from me  and  let  me  
possess  only  u..""  (prayer  of  St  Nicholas)

COMMENT:

   the  Holy  communion---the  Holy  Eucharist..   recollect   what  
church  says.

1392 What material food produces in our bodily life, Holy Communion wonderfully 
achieves in our spiritual life. Communion with the flesh of the risen Christ, a flesh 
"given life and giving life through the Holy Spirit,"229 preserves, increases, and 
renews the life of grace received at Baptism. This growth in Christian life needs the 
nourishment of Eucharistic Communion, the bread for our pilgrimage until the moment of 
death, when it will be given to us as viaticum. 
1393 Holy Communion separates us from sin. The body of Christ we receive in Holy 
Communion is "given up for us," and the blood we drink "shed for the many for the 
forgiveness of sins." For this reason the Eucharist cannot unite us to Christ without 
at the same time cleansing us from past sins and preserving us from future sins: 

1394 As bodily nourishment restores lost strength, so the Eucharist strengthens our 
charity, which tends to be weakened in daily life; and this living charity wipes away 
venial sins.231 By giving himself to us Christ revives our love and enables us to 
break our disordered attachments to creatures and root ourselves in him: ( Catechism

Hi Friends,
Good wishes in the Lord. We, the Jesus Youth in Delhi(India), are

India. It is named as EXODUS-2003, and is sheduled from the 15th

[JOYnet] Let us Pray for the WAR affected ones.

2003-03-21 Thread Joseph Tharayil
Dear Friends in Christ,
As you know the war is started in Gulf. Lat us hope and pray for 
the least casualties. War is on Iraque, but it is not only the 
Iraquies who are going to suffer. In a way or another the whole 
mankind is suffering. Who or what is the cause behind all these is 
not the major issue. For a while let us think about the actual 
effects of war.
-	There are many foreigners (many of our known ones too) are 
working in the near by countries of Iraque, like Quite and so on. 
Many of there dependence are doing their studies. Many have 
planned their marriage and future. Many are living depending on 
them. If the employed ones are returned, the study, marriage, 
planning of future, livelihood, everything will be in trouble.
-	If a large number of persons working in gulf are returned, 
unemployment and related crime will be increased.
-	Many of the persons who are depended on the gulf money will be 
psychologically affected and diseases and deth will be 
increased.
-	Cost of living will increase, and indirect looting will take 
place

These are the indirect effects. Apart from these the aftereffects 
of war also will be terrible. There will be severe unemployment 
insecurity and famin will be there in the country where war is 
going on. If the near and dear ones are lost in the war, the 
affected people will develop a kind of anti social mentality and 
this is harmful for the mankind in the longrun. Such anti social 
mentalities will lead to anti social, terrorist and criminal 
activities.which will spoil the peace of the mankind..
So let us say one hailmary daily and pray to the Queen of Peace to 
bring an end to this situation and console all the wounded hearts 
with her love and console.  We all are the organs of body of 
Christ, so if one organ is suffering the other organs are bound to 
share that pain. Let us try our best ot bring an end for this 
crises through our prayer and penance.
Joseph Tharayil
