[JOYnet] Hello!
Pass it On (a song that I really like) It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing; That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it: You spread His love to everyone, you want to pass it on. What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding, The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming; That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it: You want to sing, it's fresh like spring, you want to pass it on. I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found, You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound; I'll shout it from the mountain top! I want the world to know: The Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass it on. Hello everyone! I thought I would share something today with all of you. This is a song that I really like. I hope you all enjoyed reading it. We really do take GOD for granted in our lives. The only way we can truly understand who he is, if we lived a second of our life WITHOUT him. Someone told me that GOD is CLOSER to you than the BLOOD that runs through your body. SO imagine how close he is to us. He is the source of our life. I don't want to make this too long. For all of you who are in despair right now, I want to tell you that, when God closes a DOOR, he himself will OPEN a WINDOW for you. I guess, we have to wait. Good things come to those who wait. Please pray that I am able to wait too. Well, have a good day everyone. Pass that love that you've experienced to OTHERS!

[JOYnet] Something to ponder on
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, There has been something that has really been bothering me for awhile. I always see people end their e-mails with in the love of Jesus and Mary, but what about Saint Joseph? Did he not have an important role in the life of Jesus too? Mary would have probably been stoned to death if Joseph hadn't agreed to take her as his wife! Please don't think that I think that Mother Mary is not important. I think she plays a great role in our Catholic Faith. I guess all I am saying is don't forget Saint Jospeh. He too had a great impact on Jesus as he was growing up. There is no HOLY FAMILY, without Joseph. Please forgive me if this does not make any sense to any of you. I am sorry. It is something I always wanted to say. ok well please keep me in your prayers In the love of Jesus, Mary and Jospeh Leena University Park, PA USA =) God loves You very much PS.

[JOYnet] GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS Iwas an unusually cold day for the month of May. Spring had arrived and everything was alive with color. But a cold front from the North had brought winter's chill back to Indiana. I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the towns-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day. As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, I will work for food. My heart sank. I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief. We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had errands to do and quickly set out to accomplish them. I glanced toward the town square, looking somewhat halfheartedly for the strange visitor. I was fearful, knowing that seeing him again would call some response. I drove through town and saw nothing of him. I made some purchases at a store and got back in my car. Deep within me, the Spirit of God kept speaking to me: Don't go back to the office until you've at least driven once more around the square. And so, with some hesitancy, I headed back into town. As I turned the square's third corner. I saw him. He was standing on the steps of the storefront church, going through his sack. I stopped and looked, feeling both compelled to speak to him, yet wanting to drive on. The empty parking space on the corner seemed to be a sign from God: an invitation to park. I pulled in, got out and approached the town's newest visitor. Looking for the pastor? I asked. Not really, he replied, just resting. Have you eaten today? Oh, I ate something early this morning. Would you like to have lunch with me? Do you have some work I could do for you? No work, I replied. I commute here to work from the city, but I would like to take you to lunch. Sure, he replied with a smile. As he began to gather his things. I asked some surface questions. Where you headed? St. Louis. Where you from? Oh, all over; mostly Florida. How long you been walking? Fourteen years, came the reply. I knew I had met someone unusual. We sat across from each other in the same restaurant I had left earlier. His face was weathered slightly beyond his 38 years. His eyes were dark yet clear, and he spoke with an eloquence and articulation that was startling. He removed his jacket to reveal a bright red T-shirt that said, Jesus is The Never Ending Story. Then Daniel's story began to unfold. He had seen rough times early in life. He'd made some wrong choices and reaped the consequences. Fourteen years earlier, while backpacking across the country, he had stopped on the beach in Daytona. He tried to hire on with some men who were putting up a large tent and some equipment. A concert, he thought. He was hired, but the tent would not house a concert but revival services, and in those services he saw life more clearly. He gave his life over to God. Nothing's been the same since, he said, I felt the Lord telling me to keep walking, and so I did, some 14 years now. Ever think of stopping? I asked. Oh, once in a while, when it seems to get the best of me. But God has given me this calling. I give out Bibles. That's what's in my sack. I work to buy food and Bibles, and I give them out when His Spirit leads. I sat amazed. My homeless friend was not homeless. He was on a mission and lived this way by choice. The question burned inside for a moment and then I asked: What's it like? What? To walk into a town carrying all your things on your back and to show your sign? Oh, it was humiliating at first. People would stare and make comments. Once someone tossed a piece of half-eaten bread and made a gesture that certainly didn't make me feel welcome. But then it became humbling to realize that God was using me to touch lives and change people's concepts of other folks like me. My concept was changing, too. We finished our dessert and gathered his things. Just outside the door, he paused. He turned to me and said, Come Ye blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom I've prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me drink, a stranger and you took me in. I felt as if we were on holy ground. Could you use another Bible? I asked. He said he preferred a certain translation. It traveled well and was not too heavy. It was also his personal favorite. I've read through it 14 times, he said. I'm not sure we've got one of those, but let's stop by our church and see. I was able to find my new friend a Bible that would do well, and he seemed very grateful. Where you headed from here? Well,
[JOYnet] Pope John Paul II's Statement
Hello everyone. Today, instead of his normal catechetical talk, Pope John Paul II talked about the tragedy in our country in his Wednesday audience. Here's what he said: I cannot begin this audience without expressing my profound sorrow at the terrorist attacks which yesterday brought death and destruction to America, causing thousands of victims and injuring countless people. To the President of the United States and to all American citizens I express my heartfelt sorrow. In the face of such unspeakable horror we cannot but be deeply disturbed. I add my voice to all the voices raised in these hours to express indignant condemnation, and I strongly reiterate that the ways of violence will never lead to genuine solutions to humanity's problems. Yesterday was a dark day in the history of humanity, a terrible affront to human dignity. After receiving the news, I followed with intense concern the developing situation, with heartfelt prayers to the Lord. How is it possible to commit acts of such savage cruelty? The human heart has depths from which schemes of unheard-of ferocity sometimes emerge, capable of destroying in a moment the normal daily life of a people. But faith comes to our aid at these times when words seem to fail. Christ's word is the only one that can give a response to the questions which trouble our spirit. Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say. Christian hope is based on this truth; at this time our prayerful trust draws strength from it. With deeply felt sympathy I address myself to the beloved people of the United States in this moment of distress and consternation, when the courage of so many men and women of good will is being sorely tested. ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
