[JOYnet] War---- " Judgement"
Dear friends, As a human being and a Christian the present war of America is fully injustice and it is definitely wrong action. I am always wondering when seeing lot of e-mails referring the term 'judgement' or ' do not judge'. People making opinions about different issues. As Christinas we should have strong opinions regarding current issues of the world. It is our responsibility. That is the reason our dear Pope not only urge his faithful for fasting & prayer against war, undoubtfully he critisize the action of United States. It is the true spirit of our pope against the evils of the world. The official spokesman of Vatican recentely commented: America and its alliances resposnsible for each killing and they are liable to pay the penality of the violence. May the Good Lord strengthen His Servant to enlighten the world with His love and peace. This Lenten I am thinking about 3 sisters in Bagdad ( Members of Missionaris of Charity). Last week they didn't go for the Mass for the sake of chidren in their Love Home. That is the real prayer and sacrifice. Sindhu sister wrote about silent killing --- abortion. In Iraq 100's of abortion cases reported,due to the fear and big sounds( heavey sounds due to bombing) When I am looking my 6 month old Gracemol--- I am very concern about her minute problems. No need of explanation. all of us know very well.. In Iraq 100's of innocent wounded children suffering not even getting medicine and food. As unexpected Iraq killed so many soldiers and caught many as war prisoners. Suddenly the public support come down from 71% to 38 %. I am not blaming the us people. I am also included in that category. When I saw the dead bodies of British soldiers I feel so sad .I realized I am a short minded person. Compared to Iraqi killings , much more concern about us. I am far way from the Good Samaritan.. This is my Lenten prayer: Lord give me power to reduce the distance from the good Samaritan Give me an open mind in order to see everyone as your sons and daughters. Lord Jesus I truly belive US doing real terrorism, real violence and crime. This is absolutely war of business Lord Jesus Have Mercy on Us.. Have mecry on America... Have mercy on Iraq..

[JOYnet] Re: My comments--- Love Marriage
Dear friends, Sebastian quoted: Imagine you found a beautiful girl. You liked her and want to get married with her. You passed this message to her, and she also agreed it. Then you prayed to the Lord, _Lord help me to get married with her_. But the Lord says, my dear son, I have already selected somebody else for you, so please forget her. If God says you can carry on , then what is the problem? The important part is our attitude. If Christ is our central person and we ready to accept His will. That is the important factor. We are talking about love marriage and arranged marriage. 90% of the arranged marriages we are giving priority to colour, beauty, financial back ground, family status, dowry etc. rather than Gods wish. We can call it Sin? Married life, Priesthood any occasion we need preparation. For priesthood they are spending more than 10 years. If a boy and girl build up their relation in a matured manner, healthy in every respect looking for marital status I feel it is OK. We shared the cases, which is not fulfilling. If a nun or priest come out of their orientation time without their mistakes, is it Sin? Same way we can think about a good affair become failure You are not getting attracted with everyone. You are not thinking about an affair with all the attracted persons. I remember Fr. Paul Thelakkats one class. It was a youth programme. He commented about the specialty of man. The capacity to take decision. Only humanbeing (he/she) can say I should marry this boy or girlFor animals they dont have Yes/ No attitude. So this is Gods special gift for the human being. If we can take decisions for the Glory of God who will come against us? St. Paul says: If God is for us, who can be against us? ( Romans 8:31) Another point. What is love? Love sanctifies and leads to salvation. The relation which sanctifies both of you and leads to the deepens of salvation then it is great. We have to proclaim this essence of love to the world. We have to convey this message to our youth. Then others can realize what is true love affair. We started our discussion with Valentine Day. We commented about commercialization. Before blaming the world admit our mistakes. We ( Church) are always behind the world in all areas. Just think about our festivals, pilgrim centers? Within the circle we can find out lot of failures When we will come on driver seat as the light of the world?

[JOYnet] Back to Home!!
Dear friends, How are you all? I am sure all of you doing fine by the grace of God. Last one month I missed joynet. As I had mentioned earlier I was busy with accommodation shifting, parent's arrival etc We got a good flat as per our requirements. We prayed for the flat in our prayer cell. The next day I received the telephone call for the flat. We had one message. That also fulfilled with the new flat. So this is the Lord's mercy and love for us. Thank you Jesus . . There are plenty of friends from prayer cell and prayer group in on order to help us for shifting. Chachan and Ammachi arrived safely by 13th Sept. Both of them were sick. So many friends and families prayed for this intention. We experienced the power of prayer again. Chachan and Ammachi very happy over here. Their health is much better. We are enjoying the days with them. Please keep them in your prayers. 22nd was my birthday. Really I missed lot of wishes and prayers from JY family. Good bye to 20's. Last 30 years " The Almighty has done great things for me". Please pray for me to lead a good Christian Life. Especially for the grace to know the God's will in everything and to get the courage and wisdom to obey. Rino's maternity leave is already started. Due date is 7th October. Please pray for the safe normal delivery and a healthy spirit filled baby. Yesterday first time I saw our dear Eddy Chettan in Jeevan TV. I was so happy to see him. I have another picture in my mind about him. He shared about 2 Timothy 2:22. It was a good session.

RE: [JOYnet] my sharing
Dear loving friends, I would like to add our experiences. Rino is now 32 weeks pregnant. By the grace of God she is absolutely fine. We are using a tonic. It is really very good and powerful. I got it from Fr. Pallivathukal when he visited Bahrain last time. That time I was not married. But I noted it. It includes 7 psalms. 23,46,91,121,127,136 & 139. I advise every pregnant lady to use this tonic everyday. You will experience great comfort and shelter. Give this tonic to your relatives & friends without money. Whenever we are in prayers baby is much more moving. This year we had blessed with the pastoral visit of our bishop. Our parish celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation that time. We attended that mass. It was the first time Rino felt the baby's movement. Two weeks' back she admitted in hospital for observation just one day. We had doubt about the movement of the baby. In hospital room I laid my hand over her stomach and read the Psalm 23.Surprisingly the same time both of us feel the good movement of the baby. Praise the Lord Since the wedding day onwards before going to bed we are laying hand over each other and praying for the blessings of the Lord. There are little quarrels and problems in our life But I can say prayer is the strength of our life eventhough we are very poor in prayers. One month back God has chosen my wife to share the word of God in our prayer cell. It was her first experience. By the grace of God she prepared very well and did it nicely. Hallelujah We are shifting our accommodation end of this month. Chachan and Ammachi coming next month. Keep us in your prayers.

RE: [JOYnet] Suicide is a fashion?
Dear friends, Dexon and Anitha commented very well. Jesus is the real answer for the problem. Let us think what we can do 1) Is it possible Jesus Youth to organize all Kerala campaign against Suicides? 2) We have lot of computer professionals. Is it good for think about a web site-- fighting against suicides: Through the site we can give counseling, advises etc, We can catch our Thomas Achan also.. Our dear Pope recently said: use the possibilities of the internet Eddy chettan, Joseph uncle, Mathew, CC, Chackochan chettan please come forward with your valuable comments. Another point is Prayer Cell. Considering the family problems lack of communication and sharing is a main factor. Few months back I read in Sunday Shalom. Fr.George Panackal (Divine Retreat Center) commented about family prayer cell. Due to some kind of mispractices KCBC had stopped the prayer cells in the initial stage. Instead of giving proper guidance and control we gave up the beautiful Christian practice. It was our big mistake. Are we ready to realize and re start the family prayer cells? (We have family units in some parishes. It is entirely different from family prayer cells) I came Bahrain in 1995. Since that time onwards I am actively involved in our prayer group. In addition, Last 2 year I am a member of a prayer cell including 6 families. I am experiencing the differences very well. Through the prayer cell we know each other as a family member (more than a family member). Sharing the problems. encouraging each other. praying together. eating togeher.. Rejoicing in the Lord abundantly. Through the prayer cells we will grow deep in the Christian fellowship and definitely it will attract other communities. Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen us in the faith and love so that we may be like early Christians.

[JOYnet] RE: Pray for Priests
Dear loving friends, Good 'reminder' in the right time. Thanks Eddy chettan. Praise the Lord!!! Like others I had also beautiful dreams about priesthood. It was my hobby to cut the Papaya (KAPPALANGA-- IN OUR PLACE) in round shape and give to everybody at home as communion. Imitating the style of priestsway of celebrating mass, special songs, preaching etc.. Me and brother always had these kinds of practices and enjoyed it. Some times in front of my wife I am doing these kinds of things. For the intercessory prayer it is better to categorize different areas of priesthood. For example we have to pray for a)holiness b)those who are struggling in their call c)pray for formation centers (Seminaries), formation methods d)pray for the priests who are much involved in social activities e)pray for missionaries, preachers, teachers, writers f)Pray for the priests conflicts between each other, from superiors etc g)pray for the inner healing among priests, priests & parishioners h)pray for the priests they are giving more importance to counseling, different kinds of psychological methods other than Holy Mass & word of God i) Divisions among different rites j) Pray for the Holy Spirit We can add this list. Eddy chettan can give a final list. We have to pray for the priests we know personally. It is better to keep a personal book for intercessory prayer. We can note down the names, prayer requests.(not only for this special purpose) The advantage is we will not forget any intensions. In our personal prayer we can go through this book. Otherwise we can not remember more than 20-30 intensions. I am telling this from my personal experience. The other side of the book we can use for thanksgiving. This book will be a valuable asset in our spiritual life. Prayers & love Jose Kuriakose -- Bahrain This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Doubt-- Please clarify
Dear friends, I read one book. The author is saying that 1) Jesus ascension has two stages a. Secret or private John 20:16-17 b. Public Acts 1:9 2) Jesus second coming has two stages a. For the saints 1 These 4:16-17 , 1 Core 15:51-58 b. With the saints Matt. 24, Luke 21:25-33 What about our teaching? Can anybody explain the different stages of second coming of Jesus ?

[JOYnet] Good News
Dear friends, This is too late to inform you that my wife Rino is pregnant. Of course so many personal mails to joy netters I shared this joy and requested their prayers. By the grace of God first trimester went on very well. I would like to share the love of God through the priests upon us. Last year October we had gone for vacation to Kerala. That time we started our prayers for the parenthood. One day we visited our parish priest Fr.Sebastian Thottunkal . He is a prayerful, loving Father. We had nice time with him. We shared the life in Bahrain and especially we asked his prayers for our preparation. Both of us kneeled before him and he prayed for us. He gave us a book KUDUMBAVILI , a beautiful book about family life and you know the author is our dear parish priest Fr. S.Thottunakal( Sebastian Thottunkal) After vacation we meet our spiritual father Fr. Antony over here and invited him for the house blessing. He also prayed for us. In January our dearest joy net father came to Bahrain for the retreat. On the fourth day of retreat (31-01-2002) in Malayalam I had the opportunity to spend some time with him personally. It was really a blessed half an hour with him and in between I told him today is my Wedding Anniversary. He congratulated us. Moreover, during the retreat he invited the married celebrants of January and prayed for us. It was a great joy, honor and blessing for us. After the retreat everybody congratulated us. Rino looks like a wedding girl and about me . .Thank you Thomas Achan!! Thank you Jesus !

[JOYnet] Easter Homily by Fr.Williams
Easter Sunday Homily Finally, Easter Sunday is here. And we celebrate with eggs, the symbol of new life. And with bunnies, the symbol of fertility. And with lilies and other flowers, the symbol of spring time, new life and renewal. Of course with 30 pounds of chocolate per person! Our Gospel reading this Easter morning gives us a view of the empty tomb, first through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, then Peter and finally, John. Mary Magdalene and Peter leave the tomb discouraged. "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him", Mary says. She was loosing her hope. She almost thought the story of Jesus ended at the empty tomb. John on the other hand, sees the empty tomb as a sign of hope, a sign of the resurrection promised by the scriptures and spoken of by Jesus and so, he believes. Peter saw the signs as well but, as the gospel tells us, he did not yet understand the scripture. Where do you fit in this story of Easter morning? Do you, like Mary Magdalene, tend to walk away discouraged when life, like the tomb, seems empty? Like Peter, does it take time for you to understand the message God is trying to give to you? Or are you, like John, able to recognize the signs of God's presence in situations that at first seem hopeless? Can you believe, as all three eventually did, that nothing is impossible with God? Let us face it. Although we celebrate the joy of resurrection we are faced with darkness and emptiness of the tomb. This is a trying time for all us where we experience the excruciating pain of emptiness in our world and Church. As a nation we are at war with other countries and ourselves. Every day we wake up hearing stories about bombing and killing, corruption and greed. Where is our true freedom? Where is our true peace of resurrection? As the Church of God we are shadowed by evil, the sexual scandal by the very leaders of the Church. It seems to me that there is a spiritual suicide taking place in the Church. Did people of Jesus' time face such test of faith? Were his chosen people perfect in following his commandments? Right from the first Twelve that Jesus himself chose, one was a terrible traitor. Sometimes God's chosen ones betray him. That's a fact that we have to confront. It's a fact that the early Church confronted. If the scandal caused by Judas were all that the members of the early Church focused on, the Church would have been finished before it even started to grow. Instead, the Church recognized that you don't judge something by those who don't live it, but by those who do. Instead of focusing on the one who betrayed, they focused on the other Eleven, on account of whose work, preaching, miracles, love for Christ, we are here today. The media almost never focus on the good "Eleven," the ones whom Jesus has chosen who remain faithful, who lives lives of quiet holiness. Faced with the empty tomb of Jesus, Mary Magdalene left discouraged. On the other hand John sees the empty tomb as a sign of hope. Every crisis that the Church faces, every crisis that the world faces, is a crisis of saints. Holiness is crucial, because it is the real face of the Church. There will doubtless be many people these days -- and you will probably meet them -- who will say, "Why should I practice the faith, why should I go to Church, since the Church can't be true if God's so-called chosen ones can do the types of things we've been reading about?" This scandal is a huge hanger on which some will try to hang their justification for not practicing the faith. That's why holiness is so important. They need to find in all of us a reason for faith, a reason for hope, a reason for responding with love to the love of the Lord The Easter miracle promises that even when our life situation is at its most desperate, hope is still possible. Christ's resurrection proved that in spite of what the world tells us, evil does not have the last word, injustice is not inevitable and darkness can be overcome. It is that reality that encourages us to believe and to go on even when we too are faced with an empty tomb. Jesus' action in the world did not end with the resurrection. We are present day disciples, called to bring about the reign of God by going forth from the tomb of despair and discouragement to spread the Easter message-our God is alive and still with us. Because of that we can be people of hope. It's a tough time to be a priest today. It's a tough time to be a Catholic today. But it's also a great time to be a priest and a great time to be a Catholic "Even dead bodies can float downstream," Bishop Fulton Sheen used to say, pointing that many people can coast when the Church is respected, "but it takes a real man, a real woman, to swim against the current." How true that is! It takes a real man and a real woman to stand up now and swim against the current that is flowing against the Church. It takes a real man and a real woman to recognize that when swimming against the flood of criti
[JOYnet] What is crucifixion? A medical doctor provides a physical
What is crucifixion? A medical doctor provides a physical description: The cross is placed on the ground and the exhausted man is quickly thrown backwards with his shoulders against the wood. The Legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He then drives a heavy, square wrought iron nail through the wrist deep into the wood. Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and movement. The cross is then lifted up into place. The left foot is pressed backward against the right foot, and with both feet extended toes down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees flexed. The victim is now crucified. As he slowly sags down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating fiery pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain. The nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, he places the full weight on the nail through his feet. Again he feels the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of his feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through his muscles, knotting them deep relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Air can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself in order to get even one small breath. Finally, carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream, and the cramps partially subsided. Spasmodically, he is able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen. However, hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint wrenching cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from his lacerated back as he moves up and down against rough timber. Then another agony begins a deep, crushing pain deep in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over - the loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level - the compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues-the tortured lungs are making frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. He can feel the chill of death creeping through his tissues...Finally, he allows his body to die... All of this in the Bible recorded with four simple words, "and they crucified Him" (Mark 15 24). What wondrous love is this? Many people don't know that pain and suffering our Lord, Jesus Christ went through for us...because of the brutality, the act of crucifixion was given a sentence to only its worst offenders of the law. Thieves, murderers, and rapists would be the types of creeps who got crucified in those days. Yet, he.. Jesus is being crucified between two hardened criminals... HAVE A GOOD EASTER BUT REMEMBER EVEN JESUS HAD TO SUFFER PAIN AND HUMILITY unjustly BEFORE HE COULD ATTAIN ETERNAL GLORY. do not lose heart when you have to do the same Raghunathan.P.

[JOYnet] Drunkenness is not a Sin?
of the church n) There are church programs serving liquors church again fails to witness The list can go on and on. Please tell me do we have no moral responsibility about the realities mentioned above Another point of discussion. Obedience & 'Criticism'--this is almost always misquoted in the spiritual world. Please do not misunderstand the true response of people regarding the issues being discussed. In the gospel of St.Luke the angel came to Mary to inform the good news. Mary responded positively, she didnt think the words from angels. I am not knowing the man "How is it possible? " Then the angel explained and convinced her. Mary said Thy will be done We are always quoting second reaction of Mary. The first reaction of Mary is also very essential for our spiritual growth. Dear friends we are in a spiritual war. We can fight against evils without compromise. After the several decades our beloved Pope apologized to the generations only by the grace of Holy Spirit. We can hope and pray that the church will proclaim DRUNKENNESS is a grievous sin with no exception to moderate drinking.

[JOYnet] Tithes
Dear friends, I take pleasure in giving my tithes (10% of my salary) since I employed in Bahrain from 1995 which covers charity, church offerings etc etc(may be in the beginning I was not regular) . During these ongoing discussion about tithes it has been learned that tithe & charity differs.My life partner and me are convinced of this reflection and decided to give the 10% as tithe apart from our time to time charity and other supports / offerings To my surprise I received my current month salary with a good increment which was kept pending since April .

[JOYnet] Drunkenness is not a Sin?
Dear friends in Jesus, The promise of Christ for us is our salvation, the heavenly life with our Father Almighty. The whole bible teaches us how to achieve eternal life or how to lose kingdom of God. Through these columns , I would like to draw the attention of everyone to one of the biggest evils-DRUNKENNESS- mentioned in the Scripture. Old testament New testament 01. Gene 9:21-22 1. Mathew 24:48-51 02. Proverb 20:21 2. Luke 21:34-36 03. Proverb 23:21 3. Roma 13:13 04. Proverb 23:31-4. 1 Core 11:21-22 05. Duet 21:20-215. 1 Core 5:11 06. 1 King 20:16-21 6. 1 Cor 6:9-10 07. Amos 4:1 7. 1 These 5:6-7 08.Is 5:11,22-238. Gal 5:21 09.Is 28:1-3,7 9. Rev 17:6 10.Is 29:9-11 10. Eph 5:18 11.Is 19:14 11.1 peter 4:3-4 12.Is 28:7 12. 1 Core 10:6 13.Is 49:26 14.JR 25:15-29 14:Psalm 107:25- 15.Ecc 19:1-12 16.Proverb 31:5 17.Hos 4: 6-12 Drunkenness is also a social evil which destroys individual and families. Everybody knows that this social cancer causes several physical and mental problems for the persons addicted to alcohol. In every respect it is harmful to mankind .Can someone point out anything good (however small it is ) in drunkenness? I bring your attention in this respect. There are priests as well as 'spiritual leaders' publicly teaching it is not a sin. In their view, it is just part of culture Something we have to accept as right. So what they argue is that limited / restricted drinking or occasional drinking is permissible and acceptable. We should bear in mind that no one is born as a drunkard. Occasional/restricted drinking is the first step towards addiction. We see functions /parties/dinner dances etc..etc.. sponsored by local churches, where liquor is served accompained by rock music and all its components. Some of these functions are organized to raise funds for charity works undertaken by the local churches. THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS A question we need to seriously reflect Christianity is a way of living which is above all the cultures of the world. It is our responsibility to invite every nation to enjoy the divine spirituality, happiness and peace which is totally different from the world. There are some who quote incident at Cane in support of their stand on drinking. Jesus transformed water into wine. Then wine into his own blood.. the precious blood covenant blood . The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1John1:7). 1 Peter 2:9 says We are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. So there is no justification Do comment about this. Can anyone share about church teachings regarding drunkenness. I referred 'Bible Vinganakosham'(page.685) St.Paul speaking strongly against drinking With prayers Jose Kuriakose--Bahrain. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Are you running as God wish..
Dear loving brothers & sisters This is my first e mail and I thank God for this oppourtunity...Our reflections about salvationDear friends we have enough good preahers, scholars,writers,thinkers,spirit anointed personalities etc..Yet after the 20 centuries we have different opinions about salvation eventhough from the first century onwards we are proclaiming to the world Jesus is the only Saviour for the mankind.I think we should have concrete & precise opinions about the spiritual matters especially subjects related to faith.We have our own ideas about heaven,mother mary, saints etc...why?...is it good for our spiritual growth? God is considering each of us as his own only son ..only daughter not one among thousands... 1 cor 9:24 " You know that many runners take part in a race,but only one of them wins the race.Run,then, in such away as to win the prize." The important factor is our opponents in the race are not our brothers & sisters.Our opponent is Satan & the world.If we will reach the victory,our life become big inspiration and help for others to win the prize...to attain the salvation Well friends, a man inside the jungle..OK.. God will take care of him.Then, what about our parents,brothes,sisters,in-laws & their relatives cousins & their relatives,frineds & their families,colleagues..etc.. I hope & pray all of us working in this way we might reach inside the jungle also. So...
