[JOYnet] St. Joseph (Saint of the Day - March 19)
Dear Joynetters, March 19th is the Feast of St. Joseph. Happy Feast to all Josephs in Joynet. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia. Saint of the Day March 19, 2003 Saint Joseph(Patron of the Universal Church) Everything we know about the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus comes from Scripture and that has seemed too little for those who made up legends about him. We know he was a carpenter, a working man, for the skeptical Nazarenes ask about Jesus, "Is this not the carpenter's son?" (Matthew 13:55). He wasn't rich for when he took Jesus to the Temple to be circumcised and Mary to be purified he offered the sacrifice of two turtledoves or a pair of pigeons, allowed only for those who could not afford a lamb (Luke 2:24). Despite his humble work and means, Joseph came from a royal lineage. Luke and Matthew disagree some about the details of Joseph's genealogy but they both mark his descent from David, the greatest king of Israel (Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38). Indeed the angel who first tells Joseph about Jesus greets him as "son of David," a royal title used also for Jesus. We know Joseph was a compassionate, caring man. When he discovered Mary was pregnant after they had been betrothed, he knew the child was not his but was as yet unaware that she was carrying the Son of God. He planned to divorce Mary according to the law but he was concerned for her suffering and safety. He knew that women accused to adultery could be stoned to death, so he decided to divorce her quietly and not expose her to shame or cruelty (Matthew 1:19-25). We know Joseph was man of faith, obedient to whatever God asked of him without knowing the outcome. When the angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him the truth about the child Mary was carrying, Joseph immediately and without question or concern for gossip, took Mary as his wife. When the angel came again to tell him that his family was in danger, he immediately left everything he owned, all his family and friends, and fled to a strange country with his young wife and the baby. He waited in Egypt without question until the angel told him it was safe to go back (Matthew 2:13-23). We know Joseph loved Jesus. His one concern was for the safety of this child entrusted to him. Not only did he leave his home to protect Jesus, but upon his return settled in the obscure town of Nazareth out of fear for his life. When Jesus stayed in the Temple we are told Joseph (along with Mary) searched with great anxiety for three days for him (Luke 2:48). We also know that Joseph treated Jesus as his own son for over and over the people of Nazareth say of Jesus, "Is this not the son of Joseph?" (Luke 4:22) We know Joseph respected God. He followed God's commands in handling the situation with Mary and going to Jerusalem to have Jesus circumcised and Mary purified after Jesus' birth. We are told that he took his family to Jerusalem every year for Passover, something that could not have been easy for a working man. Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus' public life, at his death, or resurrection, many historians believe Joseph probably had died before Jesus entered public ministry. Joseph is the patron of the dying because, assuming he died before Jesus' public life, he died with Jesus and Mary close to him, the way we all would like to leave this earth. Joseph is also patron of the universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and social justice. We celebrate two feast days for Joseph: March 19 for Joseph the Husband of Mary and May 1 for Joseph the Worker. There is much we wish we could know about Joseph -- where and when he was born, how he spent his days, when and how he died. But Scripture has left us with the most important knowledge: who he was -- "a righteous man" (Matthew 1:18). In His Footsteps: Joseph was foster father to Jesus. There are many children separated from families and parents who need foster parents. Please consider contacting your local Catholic Charities or Division of Family Services about becoming a foster parent. Prayer: Saint Joseph, patron of the universal Church, watch over the Church as carefully as you watched over Jesus, help protect it and guide it as you did with your adopted son. Amen === __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Pope Calls Young People
Pope Calls Young People to Promote Peace and Justice In His Message for 18th World Youth Day VATICAN CITY, MARCH 11, 2003 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II is calling on youth to bear witness to the world that only Christ can give true peace of heart to men and women, families and nations. This conviction is reflected in the Pope's message, published today, for the 18th World Youth Day, which will be celebrated at the diocesan level worldwide on Palm Sunday, April 13. The theme for this year's World Youth Day, "Behold, Your Mother!" (John 19:27), is linked to the current Year of the Rosary. "Jesus, before he died, gave the Apostle John the most precious gift he had: his Mother, Mary, ... [who] at the foot of the cross, in John, received the whole of humanity in her heart," the Pope says in his message. "You, dear young people, are more or less that same age as John, and he himself wanted to be with Jesus. Today it is to you that Christ asks expressly to receive Mary 'in your home,' that you welcome her ... [to] learn from her ... [the] interior disposition to listen and the attitude of humility and generosity," the Pope says. Stating that Christianity is not a personal opinion nor does it consist in vain words, the Holy Father adds, "Mary is given to us to help us have a more authentic, more personal relation with Jesus." "Christianity is Christ! It is a Person, it is the Living One! To encounter Jesus, to love him, and to make him loved -- this is the Christian vocation," John Paul II stresses. The "solitude, failures and disappointments in personal life, difficulties in becoming part of the adult and professional world, separations and deaths in families, the violence of wars and the death of innocent people" are situations of suffering faced by young people today, the Pope continues. "Know, however, that in difficult moments, which are not lacking in anyone's life, you are not alone" like John at the foot of the cross, the Holy Father says. "Jesus gives you also to his Mother so that she will comfort you with her tenderness." In this context, John Paul II invites youths to give themselves to Mary with full confidence. In this way, they will shine "with the beauty of Christ. Open to the breath of the Spirit, you will be intrepid apostles (...), you will learn to put (Christ) in the first place in your life, to direct your thoughts and actions to him." In the Year of the Rosary, John Paul II invites young people to pray it, because it is a way of "learning to contemplate Jesus with the eyes of his Mother, to love Jesus with the heart of his Mother." "Don't be ashamed to recite the rosary," the Pope says, encouraging young people to pray it "on the way to school, university or work, on the street or on public transportation; recite it among yourselves, in groups, movements and associations, and don't hesitate to suggest praying it at home" with the family, because it "revives and consolidates the ties" among its members. "This prayer will help you to be strong in faith, constant in charity, joyful and persevering in hope," he says. John Paul II also exhorts young people to flee from egoism and sloth. "Now more than ever, it is urgent that you be the morning watchmen." "Mankind has a decisive need for the witness of courageous and free young people who dare to go countercurrent and proclaim strongly and enthusiastically their faith in God, Lord and Savior," he says. The Pope announced the theme of the 19th World Youth Day (2004), "We Want to See Jesus" (John 12:21), and that of Cologne, Germany, in 2005, "We Have Come to Adore Him" (Matthew 2:2).

RE: [JOYnet] Fasting Prayer for the month of March-03
Dear in Christ, The Holy Father has declared March 05 (Ash Wednesday), a day of Special Prayers and Fasting for the World Peace. Let us all join with the Holy Church and dedicate March 05 for this special intention. The message of Pope is given below: Pope Declares Ash Wednesday a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace March 5 to Be Set Aside Especially for the Middle East VATICAN CITY, FEB. 23, 2003 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II called for a day of prayer and fasting for peace, especially in the Middle East, to be observed on Ash Wednesday, March 5. "For months the international community has been living in great apprehension because of the danger of a war that might disturb the whole of the Middle East region and exacerbate the tensions that, unfortunately, are already present at the beginning of the millennium," the Pope said today, explaining the reasons for his decision. The Holy Father made this announcement before praying the midday Angelus with the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square. "It is a duty of believers, regardless of the religion to which they belong, to proclaim that we will never be able to be happy if we are against one another; the future of humanity will never be able to be assured by terrorism and the logic of war," the Pope continued. "We Christians, in particular, are called to be like guardians of peace in the places where we live and work," he explained. "We are asked, that is, to be alert, so that consciences will not yield to the temptation to egoism, falsehood and violence." Because of this, the Pontiff invited "all Catholics to dedicate with special intensity next March 5, Ash Wednesday, to prayer and fasting for the cause of peace, especially in the Middle East." "Above all, let us implore God for the conversion of hearts and a generous view in just decisions to resolve with adequate and peaceful means the contests that hamper the pilgrimage of humanity in our time," he said. "In every Marian shrine an ardent prayer for peace will be raised to heaven with the praying of the holy rosary," the Pope added. "I trust that also in parishes and families the rosary will be prayed for this great cause on which the good of all depends." "This common invocation will be accompanied by fasting, expression of penance for the hatred and violence that contaminate human relations," John Paul II noted. "Christians share the ancient practice of fasting with many brothers and sisters of other religions, who in this way want to be despoiled of all pride and dispose themselves to receive from God the greatest and most necessary gifts, among which, in particular, is that of peace," the Holy Father stressed. The convocation to prayer and fasting is a continuation of the marathon of meetings and contacts undertaken by the Pope and his collaborators to avoid the outbreak of war against Iraq and to try to put an end to the violence in the Holy Land. In recent days John Paul II has received, among others, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz and German Foreign Affairs Minister Joschka Fischer, the current president of the U.N. Security Council. The Holy Father also sent Cardinal Roger Etchegaray to Iraq, to meet personally with Saddam Hussein and with the local Catholic community. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia > --- Primeson James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Dear Friends in JOYnet > > > > > > I urge all of you to send your opinions / > > suggestions for our next fasting > > prayer of March first Friday.

Dear Bros & Sisters in Jesus Christ I f any one got a letter like the one below which i got yesterday please let me know.I forwarded this letter to the Bishop of kanjirapally to seek his advice.But When i later searched for this person in the net through google,the same text was found there which means this letter has gone to many addresses.Looks like this is a fake one Love in Jesus Christ Jose Joseph - Original Message - From: Sarah Rowland. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 12:26 PM From: Mrs. Sarah Rowland PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am the above named person from Malaysia but now undergoing medical treatment in germany. I am married to Dr.Alan George Rowland who worked with Malaysia embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$27.6Million (twenty-seven Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance/security company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church or individual that will use this to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health,and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs Sarah Rowland. === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayFebruary 5, 2003 St. Agatha As in the case of Agnes, another virgin-martyr of the early Church, almost nothing is historically certain about this saint except that she was martyred in Sicily during the persecution of Emperor Decius in 251. Legend has it that Agatha, like Agnes, was arrested as a Christian, tortured and sent to a house of prostitution to be mistreated. She was preserved from being violated, and was later put to death. She is claimed as the patroness of both Palermo and Catania. The year after her death, the stilling of an eruption of Mt. Etna was attributed to her intercession. As a result, apparently, people continued to ask her prayers for protection against fire. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Saint of the Day February 4, 2003 St. Joseph of Leonissa Joseph avoided the safe compromises by which people sometimes undercut the gospel. Born at Leonissa in the Kingdom of Naples, Joseph joined the Capuchins in his hometown in 1573. Denying himself hearty meals and comfortable quarters, he prepared for ordination and a life of preaching. In 1587 he went to Constantinople to take care of the Christian galley slaves working under Turkish masters. Imprisoned for this work, he was warned not to resume it on his release. He did and was again imprisoned and then condemned to death. Miraculously freed, he returned to Italy where he preached to the poor and reconciled feuding families as well as warring cities which had been at odds for years. He was canonized in 1746. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Blase (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayFebruary 3, 2003 St. Blase We know more about the devotion to St. Blase by Christians around the world than we know about the saint himself. His feast is observed as a holy day in the Eastern Church. The Council of Oxford, in 1222, prohibited servile labor in England on Blases feast day. The Germans and Slavs hold him in special honor and for decades many United States Catholics have sought the annual St. Blase blessing for their throats. We know that Bishop Blase was martyred in his episcopal city of Sebastea, Armenia, in 316. The legendary Acts of St. Blase were written 400 years later. According to them Blase was a good bishop, working hard to encourage the spiritual and physical health of his people. Although the Edict of Toleration (311), granting freedom of worship in the Roman Empire, was already five years old, persecution still raged in Armenia. Blase was apparently forced to flee to the back country. There he lived as a hermit in solitude and prayer, but made friends with the wild animals. One day a group of hunters seeking wild animals for the amphitheater stumbled upon Blases cave. They were first surprised and then frightened. The bishop was kneeling in prayer surrounded by patiently waiting wolves, lions and bears. As the hunters hauled Blase off to prison, the legend has it, a mother came with her young son who had a fish bone lodged in his throat. At Blases command the child was able to cough up the bone. Agricolaus, governor of Cappadocia, tried to persuade Blase to sacrifice to pagan idols. The first time Blase refused, he was beaten. The next time he was suspended from a tree and his flesh torn with iron combs or rakes. (English wool combers, who used similar iron combs, took Blase as their patron. They could easily appreciate the agony the saint underwent.) Finally he was beheaded. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Presentation of the Lord (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day February 2, 2003 Presentation of the Lord At the end of the fourth century, a woman named Etheria made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Her journal, discovered in 1887, gives an unprecedented glimpse of liturgical life there. Among the celebrations she describes is the Epiphany (January 6), the observance of Christs birth, and the gala procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40 days laterFebruary 15. (Under the Mosaic Law, a woman was ritually unclean for 40 days after childbirth, when she was to present herself to the priests and offer sacrificeher purification. Contact with anyone who had brushed against mysterybirth or deathexcluded a person from Jewish worship.) This feast emphasizes Jesus first appearance in the Temple more than Marys purification. The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the fifth and sixth centuries. Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus birth on December 25, the Presentation was moved to February 2, 40 days after Christmas. At the beginning of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a candlelight procession; at the end of the same century the blessing and distribution of candles which continues to this day became part of the celebration, giving the feast its popular name: Candlemas love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia Yahoo!

[JOYnet] St. Hyacintha of Mariscotti (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayJanuary 30, 2003 St. Hyacintha of Mariscotti Hyacintha accepted Gods standards somewhat late in life. Born of a noble family near Viterbo, she entered a local convent of sisters who followed the Third Order Rule. However, she supplied herself with enough food, clothing and other goods to live a very comfortable life amid these sisters pledged to mortification. A serious illness required that Hyacinthas confessor bring Holy Communion to her room. Scandalized on seeing how soft a life she had provided for herself, the confessor advised her to live more humbly. Hyacintha disposed of her fine clothes and special foods. She eventually became very penitential in food and clothing; she was ready to do the most humble work in the convent. She developed a special devotion to the sufferings of Christ and by her penances became an inspiration to the sisters in her convent. She was canonized in 1807.

[JOYnet] Servant of God Brother Juniper (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayJanuary 29, 2003 Servant of God Brother Juniper "Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers," said Francis of this holy friar. We dont know much about Juniper before he joined the friars in 1210. Francis sent him to establish "places" for the friars in Gualdo Tadino and Viterbo. When St. Clare was dying, Juniper consoled her. He was devoted to the passion of Jesus and was known for his simplicity. Several stories about Juniper in the Little Flowers of St. Francis illustrate his exasperating generosity. Once Juniper was taking care of a sick man who had a craving to eat pigs feet. This helpful friar went to a nearby field, captured a pig and cut off one foot, and then served this meal to the sick man. The owner of the pig was furious and immediately went to Junipers superior. When Juniper saw his mistake, he apologized profusely. He also ended up talking this angry man into donating the rest of the pig to the friars! Another time Juniper had been commanded to quit giving part of his clothing to the half-naked people he met on the road. Desiring to obey his superior, Juniper once told a man in need that he couldnt give the man his tunic, but he wouldnt prevent the man from taking it either. In time, the friars learned not to leave anything lying around, for Juniper would probably give it away. He died in 1258 and is buried at Ara Coeli Church in Rome. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Saudi Arabia __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Sts. Timothy and Titus (Saint of the Day)
Saints of the Day January 26, 2003 Sts. Timothy and Titus What we know from the New Testament of Timothys life makes it sound like that of a modern harried bishop. He had the honor of being a fellow apostle with Paul, both sharing the privilege of preaching the gospel and suffering for it. Timothy had a Greek father and a Jewish mother named Eunice. Being the product of a mixed marriage, he was considered illegitimate by the Jews. It was his grandmother, Lois, who first became Christian. Timothy was a convert of Paul around the year 47 and later joined him in his apostolic work. He was with Paul at the founding of the Church in Corinth. During the 15 years he worked with Paul, he became one of his most faithful and trusted friends. He was sent on difficult missions by Pauloften in the face of great disturbance in local Churches which Paul had founded. Timothy was with Paul in Rome during the latters house arrest. At some period Timothy himself was in prison (Hebrews 13:23). Paul installed him as his representative at the Church of Ephesus. Timothy was comparatively young for the work he was doing. (Let no one have contempt for your youth, Paul writes in 1 Timothy 4:12a.) Several references seem to indicate that he was timid. And one of Pauls most frequently quoted lines was addressed to him: Stop drinking only water, but have a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses (1 Timothy 5:23). Titus has the distinction of being a close friend and disciple of Paul as well as a fellow missionary. He was Greek, apparently from Antioch. Even though Titus was a Gentile, Paul would not let him be forced to undergo circumcision at Jerusalem. Titus is seen as a peacemaker, administrator, great friend. Pauls second letter to Corinth affords an insight into the depth of his friendship with Titus, and the great fellowship they had in preaching the gospel: When I went to Troas...I had no relief in my spirit because I did not find my brother Titus. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every wayexternal conflicts, internal fears. But God, who encourages the downcast, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus... (2 Corinthians 2:12a, 13; 7:5-6). When Paul was having trouble with the community at Corinth, Titus was the bearer of Pauls severe letter and was successful in smoothing things out. Paul writes he was strengthened not only by the arrival of Titus but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged in regard to you, as he told us of your yearning, your lament, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more And his heart goes out to you all the more, as he remembers the obedience of all of you, when you received him with fear and trembling (2 Corinthians 7:7a, 15). The Letter to Titus addresses him as the administrator of the Christian community on the island of Crete, charged with organizing it, correcting abuses and appointing presbyter-bishops. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia __ Do you Yahoo!?

[JOYnet] Conversion of St. Paul (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayJanuary 25, 2003 Conversion of St. Paul Pauls entire life can be explained in terms of one experiencehis meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In an instant, he saw that all the zeal of his dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a boxer swinging wildly. Perhaps he had never seen Jesus, who was only a few years older. But he had acquired a zealots hatred of all Jesus stood for, as he began to harass the Church: ...entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment (Acts 8:3b). Now he himself was entered, possessed, all his energy harnessed to one goalbeing a slave of Christ in the ministry of reconciliation, an instrument to help others experience the one Savior. One sentence determined his theology: I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting (Acts 9:5b). Jesus was mysteriously identified with peoplethe loving group of people Saul had been running down like criminals. Jesus, he saw, was the mysterious fulfillment of all he had been blindly pursuing. >From then on, his only work was to present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me (Colossians 2:28b-29). For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and [with] much conviction (1 Thessalonians 1:5a). Pauls life became a tireless proclaiming and living out of the message of the cross: Christians die baptismally to sin and are buried with Christ; they are dead to all that is sinful and unredeemed in the world. They are made into a new creation, already sharing Christs victory and someday to rise from the dead like him. Through this risen Christ the Father pours out the Spirit on them, making them completely new. So Pauls great message to the world was: You are saved entirely by God, not by anything you can do. Saving faith is the gift of total, free, personal and loving commitment to Christ, a commitment that then bears fruit in more works than the Law could ever contemplate.

[JOYnet] Servant of God Juan de Padilla ( Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayJanuary 23, 2003 Servant of God Juan de Padilla Juan didnt know where preaching the gospel of Jesus would lead him, but he trusted God to give him strength to match the missionary vocation. Juans vocation led to his martyrdom in Kansas, part of the New World discovered the year he was born. Juan came from southern Spain where he became a Franciscan. In 1526 he left for Mexico where he worked as a missionary in the states of Hidalgo and Jalisco. In 1540 he accompanied Coronados expedition to New Mexico. The next year Juan went with the expedition to Kansas; there he met the Quivira Indians. Juan remained to work among them after the explorers returned to Mexico. Juan was killed by several Quivira Indians as he made his way to the Kaws, traditional enemies of the Quiviras. He was the first of at least 79 Franciscans martyred in the United States. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia === Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Vincent ( Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day January 22, 2003 St. Vincent When Jesus deliberately began his journey to death, Luke says that he set his face to go to Jerusalem. It is this quality of rocklike courage that distinguishes the martyrs. Most of what we know about this saint comes from the poet Prudentius. His Acts have been rather freely colored by the imagination of their compiler. But St. Augustine, in one of his sermons on St. Vincent, speaks of having the Acts of his martyrdom before him. We are at least sure of his name, his being a deacon, the place of his death and burial. According to the story we have (and as with some of the other early martyrs the unusual devotion he inspired must have had a basis in a very heroic life), Vincent was ordained deacon by his friend St. Valerius of Saragossa in Spain. The Roman emperors had published their edicts against the clergy in 303, and the following year against the laity. Vincent and his bishop were imprisoned in Valencia. Hunger and torture failed to break them. Like the youths in the fiery furnace (Book of Daniel, chapter three), they seemed to thrive on suffering. Valerius was sent into exile, and Dacian now turned the full force of his fury on Vincent. Tortures that sound like those of World War II were tried. But their main effect was the progressive disintegration of Dacian himself. He had the torturers beaten because they failed. Finally he suggested a compromise: Would Vincent at least give up the sacred books to be burned according to the emperors edict? He would not. Torture on the gridiron continued, the prisoner remaining courageous, the torturer losing control of himself. Vincent was thrown into a filthy prison celland converted the jailer. Dacian wept with rage, but strangely enough, ordered the prisoner to be given some rest. Friends among the faithful came to visit him, but he was to have no earthly rest. When they finally settled him on a comfortable bed, he went to his eternal rest. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Agnes (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. Saint of the Day January 21, 2003 St. Agnes Almost nothing is known of this saint except that she was very young12 or 13when she was martyred in the last half of the third century. Various modes of death have been suggestedbeheading, burning, strangling. Legend has it she was a beautiful girl whom many young men wanted to marry. Among those she refused, one reported her to the authorities as being a Christian. She was arrested and confined to a house of prostitution. The legend continues that a man who looked upon her lustfully lost his sight and had it restored by her prayer. She was condemned, executed and buried near Rome in a catacomb that eventually was named after her. The daughter of Constantine built a basilica in her honor. Comment: Like that of modern Maria Goretti, the martyrdom of a virginal young girl made a deep impression on a society enslaved to a materialistic outlook. Like Agatha, who died in similar circumstances, Agnes is a symbol that holiness does not depend on length of years, experience or human effort. It is a gift God offers to all. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia === Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Sebastian (Saint of the Day)
Hello, Today is the Feast of St. Sebastian. Happy Feast to all Sebastians in joynet. Saint of the Day January 20, 2003 St. Sebastian Nothing is historically certain about St. Sebastian except that he was a Roman martyr, was venerated in Milan even in the time of St. Ambrose and was buried on the Appian Way, probably near the present Basilica of St. Sebastian. Devotion to him spread rapidly, and he is mentioned in several martyrologies as early as a.d. 350. The legend of St. Sebastian is important in art, and there is a vast iconography. Scholars now agree that a pious fable has Sebastian entering the Roman army because only there could he assist the martyrs without arousing suspicion. Finally he was found out, hailed before Emperor Diocletian and delivered to Mauritanian archers to be shot to death. His body was pierced with arrows, and he was left for dead. But he was found still alive by those who came to bury him. He recovered, but refused to flee. One day he took up a position near where the emperor was to pass. He accosted the emperor, denouncing him for his cruelty to Christians. This time the sentence of death was carried out. Sebastian was beaten to death with clubs. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Christian Unity Would Be a Gift of God
Dear Family, Sorry, a Vatican article on Christian Unity is re-produced below: love, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia Christian Unity Would Be a Gift of God, Says John Paul II Voices His Hopes on Occasion of Week of Prayer VATICAN CITY, JAN. 19, 2003 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II says that full unity among Christians is possible, with God's grace. The Pope today spoke about the the goal of full communion among believers, as the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity entered its second day. >From Jan. 18-25, representatives of the world's 2 billion Christians -- including Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans and Protestants -- will meet for ecumenical prayer with the motto "We Have This Treasure in Clay Jars." Before praying the midday Angelus with the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square, the Holy Father explained more fully the meaning of this motto, taken from the Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 4:7. "The knowledge of divine glory, reflected in the face of Christ, shines in our hearts; however, we carry this treasure in clay jars, that is, in the frailty of our human condition, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us," he explained. "The reconstruction of the unity of all the baptized is, in effect, a gift from God, and our effort alone is not sufficient to bring it about," he added. "But when Christians come together, see themselves as brothers, collaborate to alleviate sufferings, and pray for unity, they contribute to make the face of Christ and his glory shine." The Pontiff urged the faithful in their prayers this week to "ask the Lord to make the communion among Christians grow to fullness, in truth and charity." John Paul II will close the week of prayer on Jan. 25, when he presides over the celebration of vespers in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. The texts that accompany the intentions for this week of prayer were prepared by a panel made up of Catholic representatives and of the Faith and Constitution commission of the World Council of Churches. == Yahoo!

Hi, Saint of the DayJanuary 19, 2003 St. Fabian Fabian was a Roman layman who came into the city from his farm one day as clergy and people were preparing to elect a new pope. Eusebius, a Church historian, says a dove flew in and settled on the head of Fabian. This sign united the votes of clergy and laity and he was chosen unanimously. He led the Church for 14 years and died a martyrs death during the persecution of Decius in AD 250. St. Cyprian wrote to his successor that Fabian was an incomparable man whose glory in death matched the holiness and purity of his life. In the catacombs of St. Callistus, the stone that covered Fabians grave may still be seen, broken into four pieces, bearing the Greek words, Fabian, bishop, martyr. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia === Yahoo!

[JOYnet] St. Charles of Sezze (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 18, 2003 St. Charles of Sezze Charles thought that God was calling him to be a missionary in India, but he never got there. God had something better for this 17th-century successor to Brother Juniper. Born in Sezze, southeast of Rome, Charles was inspired by the lives of Salvator Horta and Paschal Baylon to become a Franciscan; he did that in 1635. Charles tells us in his autobiography, "Our Lord put in my heart a determination to become a lay brother with a great desire to be poor and to beg alms for his love." Charles served as cook, porter, sacristan, gardener and beggar at various friaries in Italy. In some ways, he was "an accident waiting to happen." He once started a huge fire in the kitchen when the oil in which he was frying onions burst into flames. One story shows how thoroughly Charles adopted the spirit of St. Francis. The superior ordered Charles then porter to give food only to traveling friars who came to the door. Charles obeyed this direction; simultaneously the alms to the friars decreased. Charles convinced the superior the two facts were related. When the friars resumed giving goods to all who asked at the door, alms to the friars increased also. At the direction of his confessor Charles wrote his autobiography, The Grandeurs of the Mercies of God. He also wrote several other spiritual books. He made good use of his various spiritual directors throughout the years; they helped him discern which of Charles ideas or ambitions were from God. Charles himself was sought out for spiritual advice. The dying Pope Clement IX called Charles to his bedside for a blessing. Charles had a firm sense of Gods providence. Father Severino Gori has said, "By word and example he recalled in all the need of pursuing only that which is eternal" (Leonard Perotti, St. Charles of Sezze: An Autobiography, page 215). He died at San Francesco a Ripa in Rome and was buried there. Pope John XXIII canonized him in 1959. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Berard and Companions (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the DayJanuary 16, 2003 St. Berard and Companions Preaching the gospel is often dangerous work. Leaving ones homeland and adjusting to new cultures, governments and languages is difficult enough; but martyrdom sometimes caps all the other sacrifices. In 1219 with the blessing of St. Francis, Berard left Italy with Peter, Adjute, Accurs, Odo and Vitalis to preach in Morocco. En route in Spain Vitalis became sick and commanded the other friars to continue their mission without him. They tried preaching in Seville, then in Muslim hands, but made no converts. They went on to Morocco where they preached in the marketplace. The friars were immediately apprehended and ordered to leave the country; they refused. When they began preaching again, an exasperated sultan ordered them executed. After enduring severe beatings and declining various bribes to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ, the friars were beheaded by the sultan himself on January 16, 1220. These were the first Franciscan martyrs. When Francis heard of their deaths, he exclaimed, "Now I can truly say that I have five Friars Minor!" Their relics were brought to Portugal where they prompted a young Augustinian canon to join the Franciscans and set off for Morocco the next year. That young man was Anthony of Padua. These five martyrs were canonized in 1481. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Paul the Hermit (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 15, 2003 St. Paul the Hermit It is unclear what we really know of Paul's life, how much is fable, how much fact. Paul was reportedly born in Egypt, where he was orphaned by age 15. He was also a learned and devout young man. During the persecution of Decius in Egypt in the year 250, Paul was forced to hide in the home of a friend. Fearing a brother-in-law would betray him, he fled in a cave in the desert. His plan was to return once the persecution ended, but the sweetness of solitude and heavenly contemplation convinced him to stay. He went on to live in that cave for the next 90 years. A nearby spring gave him drink, a palm tree furnished him clothing and nourishment. After 21 years of solitude a bird began bringing him half of a loaf of bread each day. Without knowing what was happening in the world, Paul prayed that the world would become a better place. St. Anthony attests to his holy life and death. Tempted by the thought that no one had served God in the wilderness longer than he, Anthony was led by God to find Paul and acknowledge him as a man more perfect than himself. The raven that day brought a whole loaf of bread instead of the usual half. As Paul predicted, Anthony would return to bury his new friend. Thought to have been about 112 when he died, Paul is known as the "First Hermit." His feast day is celebrated in the East; he is also commemorated in the Coptic and Armenian rites of the Mass. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jedah / Saudi Arabia Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] Servant of God John the Gardener (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Sunday Shalom's lestest edition issued a special suppliment in Malayalam on Alexy & Shiny (the Jesus Youth family) doing missionery work at Agra (North India). You can read at: www.shalomprayer.org/sunday/suppli2.htm Saint of the Day January 14, 2003 Servant of God John the Gardener John was born of poor parents in Portugal. Orphaned early in life, he spent some years begging from door to door. After finding work in Spain as a shepherd, he shared the little he earned with those even more needy than himself. One day two Franciscans encountered him on a journey. Engaging him in conversation, they took a liking to the simple man and invited him to come and work at their friary in Salamanca. He readily accepted and was assigned to the task of assisting the brother with gardening duties. A short time later John himself entered the Franciscan Order and lived a life of prayer and meditation, fasting constantly, spending the nights in prayer, still helping the poor. Because of his work in the garden and the flowers he produced for the altar, he became known as "the gardener." God favored John with the gift of prophecy and the ability to read hearts. Important persons, including princes, came to the humble, ever-obedient friar for advice. He was so loving towards all that he never wanted to take offense at anything. His advice was that to forgive offenses is an act of penance most pleasing to God. He predicted the day of his own death: January 11, 1501. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Hilary (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day January 13, 2003 St. Hilary This staunch defender of the divinity of Christ was a gentle and courteous man, devoted to writing some of the greatest theology on the Trinity, and was like his Master in being labeled a disturber of the peace. In a very troubled period in the Church, his holiness was lived out in both scholarship and controversy. Raised a pagan, he was converted to Christianity when he met his God of nature in the Scriptures. His wife was still living when he was chosen, against his will, to be the bishop of Poitiers in France. He was soon taken up with battling what became the scourge of the fourth century, Arianism, which denied the divinity of Christ. The heresy spread rapidly. St. Jerome said The world groaned and marveled to find that it was Arian. When Emperor Constantius ordered all the bishops of the West to sign a condemnation of Athanasius, the great defender of the faith in the East, Hilary refused and was banished from France to far off Phrygia. Eventually he was called the Athanasius of the West. While writing in exile, he was invited by some semi-Arians (hoping for reconciliation) to a council the emperor called to counteract the Council of Nicea. But Hilary predictably defended the Church, and when he sought public debate with the heretical bishop who had exiled him, the Arians, dreading the meeting and its outcome, pleaded with the emperor to send this troublemaker back home. Hilary was welcomed by his people. Love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. Marguerite Bourgeoys (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day January 12, 2003 St. Marguerite Bourgeoys God closes a door and then opens a window, people sometimes say when dealing with their own disappointment or someone elses. That was certainly true in Marguerites case. Children from European as well as Native American backgrounds in seventeenth-century Canada benefited from her great zeal and unshakable trust in Gods providence. Born the sixth of 12 children in Troyes, France, Marguerite at the age of 20 believed that she was called to religious life. Her applications to the Carmelites and Poor Clares were unsuccessful. A priest friend suggested that perhaps God had other plans for her. In 1654, the governor of the French settlement in Canada visited his sister, an Augustinian canoness in Troyes. Marguerite belonged to a sodality connected to that convent. The governor invited her to come to Canada and start a school in Ville-Marie (eventually the city of Montreal). When she arrived, the colony numbered 200 people with a hospital and a Jesuit mission chapel. Soon after starting a school, she realized her need for coworkers. Returning to Troyes, she recruited a friend, Catherine Crolo, and two other young women. In 1667 they added classes at their school for Indian children. A second trip to France three years later resulted in six more young women and a letter from King Louis XIV, authorizing the school. The Congregation of Notre Dame was established in 1676 but its members did not make formal religious profession until 1698 when their Rule and constitutions were approved. Marguerite established a school for Indian girls in Montreal. At the age of 69, she walked from Montreal to Quebec in response to the bishops request to establish a community of her sisters in that city. By the time she died, she was referred to as the Mother of the Colony. Marguerite was canonized in 1982. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] Blessed William Carter (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day January 11, 2003 Blessed William Carter Born in London, William Carter entered the printing business at an early age. For many years he served as apprentice to well-known Catholic printers, one of whom served a prison sentence for persisting in the Catholic faith. William himself served time in prison following his arrest for "printing lewd [i.e., Catholic] pamphlets" as well as possessing books upholding Catholicism. But even more, he offended public officials by publishing works that aimed to keep Catholics firm in their faith. Officials who searched his house found various vestments and suspect books, and even managed to extract information from William's distraught wife. Over the next 18 months William remained in prison, suffering torture and learning of his wife's death. He was eventually charged with printing and publishing the Treatise of Schisme, which allegedly incited violence by Catholics and which was said to have been written by a traitor and addressed to traitors. While William calmly placed his trust in God, the jury met for only 15 minutes before reaching a verdict of "guilty." William, who made his final confession to a priest who was being tried alongside him, was hanged, drawn and quartered the following day: January 11, 1584. He was beatified in 1987.

[JOYnet] St. Adrian of Canterbury (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 9, 2003 St. Adrian of Canterbury Though St. Adrian turned down a papal request to become Archbishop of Canterbury, England, Pope St. Vitalian accepted the rejection on the condition that Adrian serve as the Holy Fathers assistant and adviser. Adrian accepted, but ended up spending most of his life and doing most of his work in Canterbury. Born in Africa, Adrian was serving as an abbot in Italy when the new Archbishop of Canterbury appointed him abbot of the monastery of Sts. Peter and Paul in Canterbury. Thanks to his leadership skills, the facility became one of the most important centers of learning. The school attracted many outstanding scholars from far and wide and produced numerous future bishops and archbishops. Students reportedly learned Greek and Latin and spoke Latin as well as their own native languages. Adrian taught at the school for 40 years. He died there, probably in the year 710, and was buried in the monastery. Several hundred years later, when reconstruction was being done, Adrians body was discovered in an incorrupt state. As word spread, people flocked to his tomb, which became famous for miracles. Rumor had it that young schoolboys in trouble with their masters made regular visits there. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia === Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Blessed Angela of Foligno (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 8, 2003 Blessed Angela of Foligno Some saints show marks of holiness very early. Not Angela! Born of a leading family in Foligno, she became immersed in the quest for wealth and social position. As a wife and mother, she continued this life of distraction. Around the age of 40 she recognized the emptiness of her life and sought Gods help in the Sacrament of Penance. Her Franciscan confessor helped Angela to seek Gods pardon for her previous life and to dedicate herself to prayer and the works of charity. Shortly after her conversion, her husband and children died. Selling most of her possessions, she entered the Secular Franciscan Order. She was alternately absorbed by meditating on the crucified Christ and by serving the poor of Foligno as a nurse and beggar for their needs. Other women joined her in a religious community. At her confessors advice, Angela wrote her Book of Visions and Instructions. In it she recalls some of the temptations she suffered after her conversion; she also expresses her thanks to God for the Incarnation of Jesus. This book and her life earned for Angela the title "Teacher of Theologians." She was beatified in 1693. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia === Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] St. Raymond of Penyafort (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the day January 7, 2003 St. Raymond of Penyafort Since Raymond lived into his hundredth year, he had a chance to do many things. As a member of the Spanish nobility, he had the resources and the education to get a good start in life. By the time he was 20, he was teaching philosophy. In his early 30s he earned a doctorate in both canon and civil law. At 41 he became a Dominican. Pope Gregory IX called him to Rome to work for him and to be his confessor. One of the things the pope asked him to do was to gather together all the decrees of popes and councils that had been made in 80 years since a similar collection by Gratian. Raymond compiled five books called the Decretals. They were looked upon as one of the best organized collections of Church law until the 1917 codification of canon law. Earlier, Raymond had written for confessors a book of cases. It was called Summa de casibus poenitentiae. More than just a list of sins and penances, it discussed pertinent doctrines and laws of the Church that pertained to the problem or case brought to the confessor. At the age of 60, Raymond was appointed archbishop of Tarragona, the capital of Aragon. He didnt like the honor at all and ended up getting sick and resigning in two years. He didnt get to enjoy his peace long, however, because when he was 63 he was elected by his fellow Dominicans to be the head of the whole Order, the successor of St. Dominic. Raymond worked hard, visited on foot all the Dominicans, reorganized their constitutions and managed to put through a provision that a master general be allowed to resign. When the new constitutions were accepted, Raymond, then 65, resigned. He still had 35 years to oppose heresy and work for the conversion of the Moors in Spain. He convinced St. Thomas Aquinas to write his work Against the Gentiles. In his100th year the Lord let Raymond retire. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] Blessed Andre Bessette (Saint of the Day)
hi, Saint of the DayJanuary 06, 2003 Blessed Andre Bessette Brother André expressed a saints faith by a lifelong devotion to St. Joseph. Sickness and weakness dogged André from birth. He was the eighth of 12 children born to a French Canadian couple near Montreal. Adopted at 12, when both parents had died, he became a farmhand. Various trades followed: shoemaker, baker, blacksmithall failures. He was a factory worker in the United States during the boom times of the Civil War. At 25, he applied for entrance into the Congregation of the Holy Cross. After a years novitiate, he was not admitted because of his weak health. But with an extension and the urging of Bishop Bourget, he was finally received. He was given the humble job of doorkeeper at Notre Dame College in Montreal, with additional duties as sacristan, laundry worker and messenger. When I joined this community, the superiors showed me the door, and I remained 40 years. In his little room near the door, he spent much of the night on his knees. On his windowsill, facing Mount Royal, was a small statue of St. Joseph, to whom he had been devoted since childhood. When asked about it he said, Some day, St. Joseph is going to be honored in a very special way on Mount Royal! When he heard someone was ill, he visited to bring cheer and to pray with the sick person. He would rub the sick person lightly with oil taken from a lamp burning in the college chapel. Word of healing powers began to spread. When an epidemic broke out at a nearby college, André volunteered to nurse. Not one person died. The trickle of sick people to his door became a flood. His superiors were uneasy; diocesan authorities were suspicious; doctors called him a quack. I do not cure, he said again and again. St. Joseph cures. In the end he needed four secretaries to handle the 80,000 letters he received each year. For many years the Holy Cross authorities had tried to buy land on Mount Royal. Brother André and others climbed the steep hill and planted medals of St. Joseph. Suddenly, the owners yielded. André collected 200 dollars to build a small chapel and began receiving visitors theresmiling through long hours of listening, applying St. Josephs oil. Some were cured, some not. The pile of crutches, canes and braces grew. The chapel also grew. By 1931 there were gleaming walls, but money ran out. Put a statue of St. Joseph in the middle. If he wants a roof over his head, hell get it. The magnificent Oratory on Mount Royal took 50 years to build. The sickly boy who could not hold a job died at 92. He is buried at the Oratory and was beatified in 1982. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] St. John Neumann (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 05, 2003 St. John Neumann John Neumann was born in what is now the Czech Republic. After studying in Prague, he came to New York at 25 and was ordained a priest. He did missionary work in New York until he was 29, when he joined the Redemptorists and became its first member to profess vows in the United States. He continued missionary work in Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, where he became popular with the Germans. At 41, as bishop of Philadelphia, he organized the parochial school system into a diocesan one, increasing the number of pupils almost twentyfold within a short time. Gifted with outstanding organizing ability, he drew into the city many teaching communities of sisters and the Christian Brothers. During his brief assignment as vice provincial for the Redemptorists, he placed them in the forefront of the parochial movement. Well-known for his holiness and learning, spiritual writing and preaching, on October 13, 1963, he became the first American bishop to be beatified. Canonized in 1977, he is buried in St. Peter the Apostle Church in Philadelphia. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah / Saudi Arabia Phone: + (02) 663 5666 ext. 1173 (work) + (02) 275 0517 (home) Mobile:+966 52730432 === Yahoo!

[JOYnet] St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Saint of the Day January 04, 2003 St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Mother Seton is one of the keystones of the American Catholic Church. She founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. She opened the first American parish school and established the first American Catholic orphanage. All this she did in the span of 46 years while raising her five children. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton is a true daughter of the American Revolution, born August 28, 1774, just two years before the Declaration of Independence. By birth and marriage, she was linked to the first families of New York and enjoyed the fruits of high society. Reared a staunch Episcopalian by her mother and stepmother, she learned the value of prayer, Scripture and a nightly examination of conscience. Her father, Dr. Richard Bayley, did not have much use for churches but was a great humanitarian, teaching his daughter to love and serve others. The early deaths of her mother in 1777 and her baby sister in 1778 gave Elizabeth a feel for eternity and the temporariness of the pilgrim life on earth. Far from being brooding and sullen, she faced each new holocaust, as she put it, with hopeful cheerfulness. At 19, Elizabeth was the belle of New York and married a handsome, wealthy businessman, William Magee Seton. They had five children before his business failed and he died of tuberculosis. At 30, Elizabeth was widowed, penniless, with five small children to support. While in Italy with her dying husband, Elizabeth witnessed Catholicity in action through family friends. Three basic points led her to become a Catholic: belief in the Real Presence, devotion to the Blessed Mother and conviction that the Catholic Church led back to the apostles and to Christ. Many of her family and friends rejected her when she became a Catholic in March 1805. To support her children, she opened a school in Baltimore. From the beginning, her group followed the lines of a religious community, which was officially founded in 1809. The thousand or more letters of Mother Seton reveal the development of her spiritual life from ordinary goodness to heroic sanctity. She suffered great trials of sickness, misunderstanding, the death of loved ones (her husband and two young daughters) and the heartache of a wayward son. She died January 4, 1821, and became the first American-born citizen to be beatified (1963) and then canonized (1975). She is buried in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

[JOYnet] St. Basil (Saint of the Day)
Hi, Happy feast to all Basils in joy net. Saint of the Day January 02, 2003 St. Basil Basil was on his way to becoming a famous teacher when he decided to begin a religious life of gospel poverty. After studying various modes of religious life, he founded what was probably the first monastery in Asia Minor. He is to monks of the East what St. Benedict is to the West, and his principles influence Eastern monasticism today. He was ordained a priest, assisted the archbishop of Caesarea (now southeastern Turkey), and ultimately became archbishop himself, in spite of opposition from some of his suffragan bishops, probably because they foresaw coming reforms. One of the most damaging heresies in the history of the Church, Arianism, which denied the divinity of Christ, was at its height. Emperor Valens persecuted orthodox believers, and put great pressure on Basil to remain silent and admit the heretics to communion. Basil remained firm, and Valens backed down. But trouble remained. When the great St. Athanasius died, the mantle of defender of the faith against Arianism fell upon Basil. He strove mightily to unite and rally his fellow Catholics who were crushed by tyranny and torn by internal dissension. He was misunderstood, misrepresented, accused of heresy and ambition. Even appeals to the pope brought no response. For my sins I seem to be unsuccessful in everything. He was tireless in pastoral care. He preached twice a day to huge crowds, built a hospital that was called a wonder of the world (as a youth he had organized famine relief and worked in a soup kitchen himself) and fought the prostitution business. Basil was best known as an orator. His writings, though not recognized greatly in his lifetime, rightly place him among the great teachers of the Church. Seventy-two years after his death, the Council of Chalcedon described him as the great Basil, minister of grace who has expounded the truth to the whole earth. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Mary, Mother of God (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the DayJanuary 1, 2003 Mary, Mother of God Marys divine motherhood broadens the Christmas spotlight. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to Gods invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26â38). Elizabeth proclaims: Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:42â43, emphasis added). Marys role as mother of God places her in a unique position in Gods redemptive plan. Without naming Mary, Paul asserts that God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law (Galatians 4:4). Pauls further statement that God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out Abba, Father! helps us realize that Mary is mother to all the brothers and sisters of Jesus. Some theologians also insist that Marys motherhood of Jesus is an important element in Gods creative plan. Gods first thought in creating was Jesus. Jesus, the incarnate Word, is the one who could give God perfect love and worship on behalf of all creation. As Jesus was first in Gods mind, Mary was second insofar as she was chosen from all eternity to be his mother. The precise title Mother of God goes back at least to the third or fourth century. In the Greek form Theotokos (God-bearer), it became the touchstone of the Churchs teaching about the Incarnation. The Council of Ephesus in 431 insisted that the holy Fathers were right in calling the holy virgin Theotokos. At the end of this particular session, crowds of people marched through the street shouting: Praised be the Theotokos! The tradition reaches to our own day. In its chapter on Marys role in the Church, Vatican IIs Dogmatic Constitution on the Church calls Mary Mother of God 12 times. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] St. Sylvester I (Saint of the Day)
Saint of the Day December 31, 2002 St. Sylvester I When you think of this pope, you think of the Edict of Milan, the emergence of the Church from the catacombs, the building of the great basilicas, Saint John Lateran, Saint Peters and others, the Council of Nicaea and other critical events. But for the most part, these events were planned or brought about by Emperor Constantine. A great store of legends has grown up around the man who was pope at this most important time, but very little can be established historically. We know for sure that his papacy lasted from 314 until his death in 335. Reading between the lines of history, we are assured that only a very strong and wise man could have preserved the essential independence of the Church in the face of the overpowering figure of the Emperor Constantine. The bishops in general remained loyal to the Holy See and at times expressed apologies to Sylvester for undertaking important ecclesiastical projects at the urging of Constantine. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 30, 2002 St. Egwin Born of royal blood in the 7th century, Egwin entered a monastery and was enthusiastically received by royalty, clergy and the people as the bishop of Worcester, England. As a bishop he was known as a protector of orphans and the widowed and a fair judge. Who could argue with that? His popularity didnt hold up among members of the clergy, however. They saw him as overly strict, while he felt he was simply trying to correct abuses and impose appropriate disciplines. Bitter resentments arose, and Egwin made his way to Rome to present his case to Pope Constantine. The case against Egwin was examined and annulled. Upon his return to England, he founded Evesham Abbey, which became one of the great Benedictine houses of medieval England. It was dedicated to Mary, who had reportedly made it known to Egwin just where a church should be built in her honor. He died at the abbey on December 30, in the year 717. Following his burial many miracles were attributed to him: The blind could see, the deaf could hear, the sick were healed. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Hi, Saint of the Day December 29, 2002 St. Thomas Becket A strong man who wavered for a moment, but then learned one cannot come to terms with evil and so became a strong churchman, a martyr and a saintthat was Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, murdered in his cathedral on December 29, 1170. His career had been a stormy one. While archdeacon of Canterbury, he was made chancellor of England at the age of 36 by his friend King Henry II. When Henry felt it advantageous to make his chancellor the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas gave him fair warning: he might not accept all of Henrys intrusions into Church affairs. Nevertheless, he was made archbishop (1162), resigned his chancellorship and reformed his whole way of life! Troubles began. Henry insisted upon usurping Church rights. At one time, supposing some conciliatory action possible, Thomas came close to compromise. He momentarily approved the Constitutions of Clarendon, which would have denied the clergy the right of trial by a Church court and prevented them from making direct appeal to Rome. But Thomas rejected the Constitutions, fled to France for safety and remained in exile for seven years. When he returned to England, he suspected it would mean certain death. Because Thomas refused to remit censures he had placed upon bishops favored by the king, Henry cried out in a rage, Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest! Four knights, taking his words as his wish, slew Thomas in the Canterbury cathedral. Within three years Thomas was a saint of the Church and his tomb a shrine of pilgrimage. Henry II himself did penance at Thomass tomb, but a later Henry (VIII) despoiled that tomb and scattered the saints relics. Thomas Becket, however, remains a hero-saint down to our own times. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Hi, Saint of the Day December 28, 2002 Feast of the Holy Innocents Herod the Great, king of Judea, was unpopular with his people because of his connections with the Romans and his religious indifference. Hence he was insecure and fearful of any threat to his throne. He was a master politician and a tyrant capable of extreme brutality. He killed his wife, his brother and his sisters two husbands, to name only a few. Matthew 2:118 tells this story: Herod was greatly troubled when astrologers from the east came asking the whereabouts of the newborn king of the Jews, whose star they had seen. They were told that the Jewish Scriptures named Bethlehem as the place where the Messiah would be born. Herod cunningly told them to report back to him so that he could also do him homage. They found Jesus, offered him their gifts and, warned by an angel, avoided Herod on their way home. Jesus escaped to Egypt. Herod became furious and ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under. Since Bethlehem was a small town, the number of babies killed was perhaps 20 or 25. The horror of the massacre and the devastation of the mothers and fathers led Matthew to quote Jeremiah: A voice was heard in Ramah,/sobbing and loud lamentation;/Rachel weeping for her children... (Matthew 2:18). Rachel was the wife of Jacob/Israel. She is pictured as weeping at the place where the Israelites were herded together by the conquering Assyrians for their march into captivity. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah = Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 26, 2002 St. Stephen All we know of Stephen is found in Acts of the Apostles, chapters six and seven. It is enough to tell us what kind of man he was: At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenist (Greek-speaking) Christians complained about the Hebrew-speaking Christians, saying that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:15) Acts says that Stephen was a man filled with grace and power, who worked great wonders among the people. Certain Jews, members of the Synagogue of Roman Freedmen, debated with Stephen but proved no match for the wisdom and spirit with which he spoke. They persuaded others to make the charge of blasphemy against him. He was seized and carried before the Sanhedrin. In his speech, Stephen recalled Gods guidance through Israels history, as well as Israels idolatry and disobedience. He then claimed that his persecutors were showing this same spirit. [Y]ou always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors (Acts 7:51b). His speech brought anger from the crowd. But [Stephen], filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God They threw him out of the city, and began to stone himAs they were stoning Stephen, he called out, Lord Jesus, receive my spiritLord, do not hold this sin against them (Acts 7:5556, 58a, 59, 60b). love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Merry Christmas to all of you. Christmas Day December 25, 2002 On this day the Church focuses especially on the newborn Child, God become human, who embodies for us all the hope and peace we seek. We need no other special saint today to lead us to Christ in the manger, although his mother Mary and Joseph, caring for his foster-Son, help round out the scene. But if we were to select a patron for today, perhaps it might be appropriate for us to imagine an anonymous shepherd, summoned to the birthplace by a wondrous and even disturbing vision in the night, a summons from an angelic choir, promising peace and goodwill. A shepherd willing to seek out something that might just be too unbelievable to chase after, and yet compelling enough to leave behind the flocks in the field and search for a mystery. On the day of the Lords birth, lets let an unnamed, un-celebrity at the edge of the crowd model for us the way to discover Christ in our own heartssomewhere between skepticism and wonder, between mystery and faith. And, like Mary and the shepherds, let us treasure that discovery in our hearts. with prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 23, 2002 St. John of Kanty John was a country lad who made good in the big city and the big university of Kraków, Poland. After brilliant studies he was ordained a priest and became a professor of theology. The inevitable opposition which saints encounter led to his being ousted by rivals and sent to be a parish priest at Olkusz. An extremely humble man, he did his best, but his best was not to the liking of his parishioners. Besides, he was afraid of the responsibilities of his position. But in the end he won his peoples hearts. After some time he returned to Kraków and taught Scripture for the remainder of his life. He was a serious man, and humble, but known to all the poor of Kraków for his kindness. His goods and his money were always at their disposal, and time and again they took advantage of him. He kept only the money and clothes absolutely needed to support himself. He slept little, and then on the floor, ate sparingly, and took no meat. He made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, hoping to be martyred by the Turks. He made four pilgrimages to Rome, carrying his luggage on his back. When he was warned to look after his health, he was quick to point out that, for all their austerity, the fathers of the desert lived remarkably long lives. love n prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah === Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
--- Prayer for the terrorists http://jesusyouth.org/joynet/dec20.html --- Saint of the DayDecember 22, 2002 Blessed Jacopone da Todi Jacomo, or James, was born a noble member of the Benedetti family in the northern Italian city of Todi. He became a successful lawyer and married a pious, generous lady named Vanna. His young wife took it upon herself to do penance for the worldly excesses of her husband. One day Vanna, at the insistence of Jacomo, attended a public tournament. She was sitting in the stands with the other noble ladies when the stands collapsed. Vanna was killed. Her shaken husband was even more disturbed when he realized that the penitential girdle she wore was for his sinfulness. On the spot, he vowed to radically change his life. He divided his possessions among the poor and entered the Third Order of St. Francis. Often dressed in penitential rags, he was mocked as a fool and called Jacopone, or "Crazy Jim," by his former associates. The name became dear to him. After 10 years of such humiliation, Jacopone asked to be a member of the Franciscan Order. Because of his reputation, his request was initially refused. He composed a beautiful poem on the vanities of the world, an act that eventually led to his admission into the Order in 1278. He continued to lead a life of strict penance, declining to be ordained a priest. Meanwhile he was writing popular hymns in the vernacular. Jacopone suddenly found himself a leader in a disturbing religious movement among the Franciscans. The Spirituals, as they were called, wanted a return to the strict poverty of Francis. They had on their side two cardinals of the Church and Pope Celestine V. These two cardinals, though, opposed Celestine's successor, Boniface VIII. At the age of 68, Jacopone was excommunicated and imprisoned. Although he acknowledged his mistake, Jacopone was not absolved and released until Benedict XI became pope five years later. He had accepted his imprisonment as penance. He spent the final three years of his life more spiritual than ever, weeping "because Love is not loved." During this time he wrote the famous Latin hymn, Stabat Mater. On Christmas Eve in 1306 Jacopone felt that his end was near. He was in a convent of the Poor Clares with his friend, Blessed John of La Verna. Like Francis, Jacopone welcomed "Sister Death" with one of his favorite songs. It is said that he finished the song and died as the priest intoned the Gloria from the midnight Mass at Christmas. From the time of his death, Brother Jacopone has been venerated as a saint. love n prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Prayer for the terrorists http://jesusyouth.org/joynet/dec20.html Hi, Sorry, as I could not access to my internet facility for a week the 'Saint of the Day' was discontinued. Thanks to God, from today again, 'The Saint of the Day' is being forwarded to the Joynet. with prayers, Jose Joseph (Joseachayan) / Jeddah Saint of the Day December 21, 2002 St. Peter Canisius In 1565, the Vatican was looking for a secret agent. It was shortly after the Council of Trent and the pope wanted to get the decrees of the Council to all the European bishops. What would be a simple errand in our day, was a dangerous assignment in the sixteenth century. The first envoy who tried to carry the decrees through territory of hostile Protestants and vicious thieves was robbed of the precious documents. Rome needed someone courageous but also someone above suspicion. They chose Peter Canisius. At 43 he was a well-known Jesuit who had founded colleges that even Protestants respected. They gave him a cover as official "visitor" of Jesuit foundations. But Peter couldn't hide the decrees like our modern fictional spies with their microfilmed messages in collar buttons or cans of shaving cream. Peter traveled from Rome and crisscrossed Germany successfully loaded down with the Tridentine tomes -- 250 pages each -- not to mention the three sacks of books he took along for his own university! Why did the Vatican choose Peter Canisius for this delicate task? Born in Holland in 1521, Peter had edited and written several volumes on Church history and theology, been a delegate to the Council of Trent, and reformed the German universities from heresy. Called to Vienna to reform their university, he couldn't win the people with preaching or fancy words spoken in his German accent. He won their hearts by ministering to the sick and dying during a plague. The people, the king, and the pope all wanted to make Peter bishop of Vienna, but Peter declined vigorously and administered the diocese for a year. For many years during the Reformation, Peter saw the students in his universities swayed by the flashy speeches and the well-written arguments of the Protestants. Peter was not alone in wishing for a Catholic catechism that would present true Catholic beliefs undistorted by fanatics. Finally King Ferdinand himself ordered Peter and his companions to write a catechism. This hot potato got tossed from person to person until Peter and his friend Lejay were assigned to write it. Lejay was obviously the logical choice, being a better writer than Peter. So Peter relaxed and sat back to offer any help he could. When Father Lejay died, King Ferdinand would wait no longer. Peter said of writing: "I have never learned to be elegant as a writer, but I cannot remain dumb on that account." The first issue of the Catechism appeared in 1555 and was an immediate success. Peter approached Christian doctrine in two parts: wisdom -- including faith, hope, and charity -- and justice -- avoiding evil and doing good, linked by a section on sacraments. Because of the success and the need, Peter quickly produced two more versions: a Shorter Catechism for middle school students which concentrated on helping this age group choose good over evil by concentrating on a different virtue each day of the week; and a Shortest Catechism for young children which included prayers for morning and evening, for mealtimes, and so forth to get them used to praying. As intent as Peter was on keeping people true to the Catholic faith, he followed the Jesuit policy that harsh words should not be used, that those listening would see an example of charity in the way Catholics acted and preached. However, his companions were not always as willing. He showed great patience and insight with one man, Father Couvillon. Couvillon was so sharp and hostile that he was alienating his companions and students. Anyone who confronted him became the subject of abuse. It became obvious that Couvillon suffered from emotional illness. But Peter did not let that knowledge blind him to the fact that Couvillon was still a brilliant and talented man. Instead of asking Couvillon to resign he begged him to stay on as a teacher and then appointed him as his secretary. Peter thought that Couvillon needed to worry less about himself and pray more and work harder. He didn't coddle him but gave Couvillon blunt advice about his pride. Coming from Peter this seemed to help Couvillon. Peter consulted Couvillon often on business of the Province and asked him to translate Jesuit letters from India. Thanks to Peter , even though Couvillon continued to suffer depression for years, he also accomplished much good. Peter died in December 21, 1597. He is known as the

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 14, 2002 Saint John of the Cross Born in Spain in 1542, John learned the importance of self-sacrificing love from his parents. His father gave up wealth, status, and comfort when he married a weaver's daughter and was disowned by his noble family. After his father died, his mother kept the destitute family together as they wandered homeless in search of work. These were the examples of sacrifice that John followed with his own great love -- God. When the family finally found work, John still went hungry in the middle of the wealthiest city in Spain. At fourteen, John took a job caring for hospital patients who suffered from incurable diseases and madness. It was out of this poverty and suffering, that John learned to search for beauty and happiness not in the world, but in God. After John joined the Carmelite order, Saint Teresa of Avila asked him to help her reform movement. John supported her belief that the order should return to its life of prayer. But many Carmelites felt threatened by this reform, and some members of John's own order kidnapped him. He was locked in a cell six feet by ten feet and beaten three times a week by the monks. There was only one tiny window high up near the ceiling. Yet in that unbearable dark, cold, and desolation, his love and faith were like fire and light. He had nothing left but God -- and God brought John his greatest joys in that tiny cell. After nine months, John escaped by unscrewing the lock on his door and creeping past the guard. Taking only the mystical poetry he had written in his cell, he climbed out a window using a rope made of stirps of blankets. With no idea where he was, he followed a dog to civilization. He hid from pursuers in a convent infirmary where he read his poetry to the nuns. From then on his life was devoted to sharing and explaining his experience of God's love. His life of poverty and persecution could have produced a bitter cynic. Instead it gave birth to a compassionate mystic, who lived by the beliefs that "Who has ever seen people persuaded to love God by harshness?" and "Where there is no love, put love -- and you will find love." John left us many books of practical advice on spiritual growth and prayer that are just as relevant today as they were then. These books include: Ascent of Mount Carmel Dark Night of the Soul and A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ Since joy comes only from God, John believed that someone who seeks happiness in the world is like "a famished person who opens his mouth to satisfy himself with air." He taught that only by breaking the rope of our desires could we fly up to God. Above all, he was concerned for those who suffered dryness or depression in their spiritual life and offered encouragement that God loved them and was leading them deeper into faith. "What more do you want, o soul! And what else do you search for outside, when within yourself you possess your riches, delights, satisfaction and kingdom -- your beloved whom you desire and seek? Desire him there, adore him there. Do not go in pursuit of him outside yourself. You will only become distracted and you won't find him, or enjoy him more than by seeking him within you." -- Saint John of the Cross love n prayers, Jose Joseph (Josachayan)/ Jeddah = Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 11, 2002 St. Damasus I To his secretary St. Jerome, Damasus was an incomparable person, learned in the Scriptures, a virgin doctor of the virgin Church, who loved chastity and heard its praises with pleasure. Damasus seldom heard such unrestrained praise. Internal political struggles, doctrinal heresies, uneasy relations with his fellow bishops and those of the Eastern Church marred the peace of his pontificate. The son of a Roman priest, possibly of Spanish extraction, Damasus started as a deacon in his fathers church, and served as a priest in what later became the basilica of San Lorenzo in Rome. He served Pope Liberius (352â366) and followed him into exile. When Liberius died, Damasus was elected bishop of Rome; but a minority elected and consecrated another deacon, Ursinus, as pope. The controversy between Damasus and the antipope resulted in violent battles in two basilicas, scandalizing the bishops of Italy. At the synod Damasus called on the occasion of his birthday, he asked them to approve his actions. The bishops reply was curt: We assembled for a birthday, not to condemn a man unheard. Supporters of the antipope even managed to get Damasus accused of a grave crimeprobably sexualas late as A.D. 378. He had to clear himself before both a civil court and a Church synod. As pope his lifestyle was simple in contrast to other ecclesiastics of Rome, and he was fierce in his denunciation of Arianism and other heresies. A misunderstanding of the Trinitarian terminology used by Rome threatened amicable relations with the Eastern Church, and Damasus was only moderately successful in dealing with the situation. During his pontificate Christianity was declared the official religion of the Roman state (380), and Latin became the principal liturgical language as part of the popes reforms. His encouragement of St. Jeromes biblical studies led to the Vulgate, the Latin translation of Scripture which the Council of Trent (12 centuries later) declared to be authentic in public readings, disputations, preachings. love n prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day December 10, 2002 Pope Saint Gregory III He was just standing there, not doing anything special. As a Syrian priest he must have felt a little out of place among the Roman people mourning that day for the dead Pope. As a good preacher, he must have wanted to speak to the funeral procession about Christ's promise of resurrection. As a learned man, he must have wondered who would follow the holy Saint Gregory II as Pope and where he would take the Church. As a holy man, he must have been praying for Gregory II and for all the people around him to find their place after death in God's arms. But he was just one of the crowd. Not to God. And not to the people who recognized the well-known holy man in their midst. Right in the middle of the funeral procession they singled him out. They swept him away and clamored for him to be named the next bishop of Rome. Then suddenly, unexpectedly, without his even lifting a finger, his whole life changed and he could no longer just stand there and do nothing. After he was proclaimed Pope Gregory III, Emperor Leo II attacked the veneration of holy images. Because Leo II thought the honor paid to Jesus, Mary, and the saints by keeping statues and icons was idolatry, he condemned them and wanted them destroyed. Gregory III didn't just stand there but immediately sent a letter to Leo II. He couldn't get the letter through because the priest-messenger was afraid to deliver it. So instead, Gregory called a synod that approved strong measures against anyone who would try to destroy images of Jesus, Mary, or the saints. Gregory took his stand and Leo II apparently thought the only way to move him was through physical force. So Leo sent ships to kidnap Gregory and bring him to Constantinople. Many people in Rome must have tried to get Gregory to move -- but he just stood there. And once again God intervened. A storm destroyed Leo's ships. The only thing Leo could do was capture some of the papal lands. So Leo got a few acres of land and we kept our wonderful reminders of the love of God, the protection of Jesus, the prayers of Mary, and the examples of the saints. All because Gregory knew when to take a stand -- and when to stand there and let God work. Gregory III was Pope from 731-741. In His Footsteps: Where in your life do you need to take a stand? Take a stand: The next time you here someone say something that indicates religious, racial, gender, or any other kind of prejudice, take a stand and make it clear that such prejudice is not tolerated by God or God's people. Prayer: Saint Gregory III, it's hard to stand still and wait for God to do his work. Sometimes I doubt God's providence. I'm afraid that God's plan won't work out unless I push it along. Help me, when I'm confused, to stop, pray, and wait for God. Amen love n prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah = Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Saint of the Day
December 01, 2002 Saint of the Day : St. Eligius (Patron of metalworkers) Eligius (also known as Eloi) was born around 590 near Limoges in France. He became an extremely skillful metalsmith and was appointed master of the mint under King Clotaire II of Paris. Eligius developed a close friendship with the King and his reputation as an outstanding metalsmith became widespread. With his fame came fortune. Eligius was very generous to the poor, ransomed many slaves, and built several churches and a monastery at Solignac. He also erected a major convent in Paris with property he received from Clotaire's son, King Dagobert I. In 629, Eligius was appointed Dagobert's first counselor. Later, on a mission for Dagobert, he persuaded the Breton King Judicael, to accept the authority of Dagobert. Eligius later fulfilled his desire to serve God as a priest, after being ordained in 640. Then he was made bishop of Noyon and Tournai. His apostolic zeal led him to preach in Flanders, especially Antwerp, Ghent, and Courtai where he made many converts. Eligius died on December 1, around 660, at Noyon. He is the patron of metalworkers and his feast day is December 1. The use of one's talents and wealth for the welfare of humanity is a very true reflection of the image of God. In the case of St. Eligius, he was so well liked that he attracted many to Christ. His example should encourage us to be generous in spirit and kind and happy in demeanor. === Hi JYs, As we are closing for the "Eid" holidays today, sorry the next 'Saint of the Day' will be posted only on 10th after reopening.

Dears, Since Suma is leaving for India on leave, if God wills, I will post the 'Saints of the Day' till first week of February 2003. Here is the life history of today's saint. love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah November 30 St. Andrew (Patron of Fisherman Andrew, like his brother Simon Peter, was a fisherman. He became a disciple of the great St. John the Baptist, but when John pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Andrew understood that Jesus was greater. At once he left John to follow the Divine Master. Jesus knew that Andrew was walking behind him, and turning back, he asked, "what do you seek?" When Andrew answered that he would like to know where Jesus lived, Our Lord replied, "Come and see." Andrew had been only a little time with Jesus when he realized that this was truly the Messiah. >From then on, he chose to follow Jesus. Andrew was thus the first disciple of Christ. Next, Andrew brought his brother Simon (St. Peter) to Jesus and Jesus received him, too, as His disciple. At first the two brothers continued to carry on their fishing trade and family affairs, but later, the Lord called them to stay with Him all the time. He promised to make them fishers of men, and this time, they left their nets for good. It is believed that after Our Lord ascended into Heaven, St. Andrew went to Greece to preach the gospel. He is said to have been put to death on a cross, to which he was tied, not nailed. He lived two days in that state of suffering, still preaching to the people who gathered around their beloved Apostle. Two countries have chosen St. Andrew as their patron - Russia and Scotland. == Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Re: [JOYnet] Vastu Shastra
Dear Joynetters, Let me share few of my experiances.You don't need to accept vasthushastra in toto.But certain things in vasthu sastra are scientific and based on facts-like magnetic field and sunlight.Last year i heard a talk by eminent scholar IG of Police Mr Alexander Jacob where he specified the direction in which you should sleep,How to study and which direction to face.Thease were all based on Facts and statistics.I myself had very troubled sleep for years.But when i changed the direction i am getting good sleep now.Mr Alexander Jacob who is a Bible scholar, and one who gives classes in schools alover the state gives the importance of the direction.So you cannot turn away from Vasthushastra just because it is an Hindu way.Why not we adopt some of the Good aspects in it.

[JOYnet] I am Learning Lord
Dear JYs, My life has taken many falls And tumbles 'long the way. The many trials have left me In a sure state of dismay. For with each trial, I tried alone To tend, and soothe, and mend, Instead of giving them to God - And on Him just depend ... But, I am Learning Lord It seems I was determined To carry all the load. I longed for smoother pathways. Yet, I walked a rocky road. Little did I understand, God waited patiently To pave a new beginning With a better life for me. But, I am Learning Lord It took a real disaster To bring me to my knees; To finally call upon the Lord And say, "God help me, please." He came with no delaying, With strong arms that could hold - The weight of all my burdens; He gladly took the load. and, I am Learning Lord What a needless cross I carried, All because I could not see - What a friend I have in Jesus, And the love He has for me. Peace I find when troubles hover, Though' the outcome is unknown. For if yet the road is rocky, I won't walk it all alone. For, I am Learning Lord THE WORD OF GOD BRINGS LIFE ITSELF! fwd from Sacred Pages.com with love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah visit www.marymatha.com HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/ This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Holy Eucarist
Hi, I have heard that the so called FreeMasons,evenwhile conducting their own group meetings..will also attend the mass and church functions to let people know that they are not diassociating with the church.Carring the Holy Eucharist home may be the work of Freemasons.I was surprised to hear that the Freemasons group has already reached every nook and corner of kerala and even in this remote place like Kanjirapally.Many people from most prominant and Knowing families have joined this group for material gains without knowing the cosequences. Let us pray for all those and for them to return to the right path. Lovingly in Jesus Christ Jose Joseph This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] LUCIA REVEALS THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA
position. Then total and absolute darkness will cover the entire planet... All evil spirits will be mingling around and free, doing harm to all those souls that did not want to listen to this message and those who did not want to repent. To the faithful souls , remember to light the blessed candles. Prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD and implore for his infinite mercy All will be dark; IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS will appear to remind us the price that his beloved Son had to pay for our redemption In the house the only thing that can give light will be the HOLY CANDLES Once lit nothing will put them off until the three days of darkness are over. Also, you should have Holy Water that should be sprinkled abundantly on windows and doors. The Lord will protect t "Oh God forgive us our sins, preserve us from the fire of hell, take all souls into Heaven, especially those who are in more need of thy mercy. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect us, we love you, save us and save the world." Pray 5 Creeds and the rosary, which is the secret to my Immaculate Heart. All those who believe in my words, go and take the message to everyone, DO NOT FEAR. FEAR NOTHING DURING THE LORD'S GREATEST DAY. Talk to all the souls now that there is time, those who keep quiet will be responsible for all those souls who will perish in ignorance. All those who pray humbly the Rosary will have the protection of Heaven and those who are bound to die, I will help them die in peace and they will be Holy when they enter the other world. I wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first Saturday of each month to confess and receive Holy Communion and in doing so, save the world from TOTAL DESTRUCTION. ... WHEN the earth shakes no more, those who still will not believe in our Lord will perish in a horrible way. The wind will bring gas and it will disperse everywhere then the sun will rise. Maybe you will survive this catastrophe. Do not forget that God's punishment is Holy and ONCE IT HAS STARTED YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE. GOD DOES NOT WANT ANY OF HIS CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE SINNERS... All this encompasses with the writings of the Holy Scriptures...Read in the New Testament: Lucas 21-5:121 , 12:19, 20:20, 29:33 Letters of St. Paul 3-8-14 Isaiah 40, 1:5:9 You must understand that God allows all these to happen. The Pope and Bishops are now awaiting another message that speaks about repentance and prayer. Remember that God's words are not a threat, but good news Please reproduce these pages and send them to all the people that you know so we all can have the opportunity to repent and be saved. We do not know if those receiving this message believe or not in GOD, but think, there is a reason for receiving this message! Maybe, the Creator is giving us the chance to be saved, no matter what religion or Creed. If you do not believe in this message at least send it to others, it will cost you nothing. To all those receiving it, they can have the opportunity to judge for themselves. Remember, we can avoid a great deal if we practice the 10 Commandments that our Father God has left us. There are just 10 simple things that if we put into practice, we can obtain God's pardon. Jesus in you I trust.

[JOYnet] Feast of the Day
FEAST OF THE DAY -AUGUST 22 The feast of the Queenship of Mary was established in 1954 by Pope Pius XII. The original date for this feast was chosen as May 31st, but was later moved to the octave day of the feast of the Assumption, August 22nd. This memorial celebrates the same event that is highlighted by the fifth glorious mystery or the Rosary. Throughout the New Testament, Mary's role in heaven is mentioned. Mary is alluded to as Queen in the book of Revelations, and throughout the Bible. It is because of Jesus close relationship with his mother that she shares in his kingship. The Church and the faithful for have also referred to Mary as queen since the fourth century. Various songs, litanies, and prayers refer to Mary as queen. The Church has affirmed the title of Mary in modern times through documents including Lumen Gentium (..."and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son" Lumen Gentium 59) and the papal encyclical Ad Coeli Reginam. The title Queen is used to indicate the final state of the Virgin, seated beside her Son, the King of glory.

[JOYnet] Feast of the Day
FEAST OF THE DAY = AUGUST 21 Joseph Sarto was born in 1835 and was the second of ten children in a poor family. Joseph Sarto became one of the most outstanding popes of the 20th century, Pope St. Pius X. Throughout his life he remembered his humble beginnings and donated selflessly to the poor. Joseph moved up through the hierarchy of the Church from priest, to bishop to cardinal. In 1903 Pope Leo XIII died and a conclave was held to chose his successor. Joseph was chosen to be the 259th pope and took the name Pius X. The motto of Pius' reign was "renew all things in Christ" and he accomplished this by encouraging the faithful to a great love and devotion to the Eucharist. He also encouraged the faithful to receive Communion frequently and made a law allowing children to start receiving Communion around the age of 7. Pius also waged war against modernism, one of the great errors of the era. Pius died a few weeks after the start of the First World War, stricken with great sorrow for the pain that humanity was about to suffer. Pope Pius X died on August 20, 1914 and was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954. St. Pius X is the patron of sick pilgrims.

[JOYnet] Story of a couple
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and light for my path." Psalm 119:105 Story of a couple. A newly-wed couple, when they rode together in the car, the wife would sit so close to her husband that it looked like there was a two-headed driver in the seat. Now, twenty five years later, when they go out in the car, the wife sits way over on the other side. One day she looked over longingly at her husband and said with a sigh, "Remember the days when we used to sit so close to each other we looked like a two-headed driver?" The husband looked over at her and quietly aid, "Well, Honey, I wasn't the one who moved." That's how it is with God. If you're feeling far away from Him, remember - He isn't the one who has moved! Getting closer to God is easy...just start reading the Bible everyday and spend time in prayer. You can't help but gain a closer walk with Him! fwd: with love + prayers, Joseachayan / Jeddah HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Trust in God
"Trust In God" Courage, Brother, do not stumble, Though your path be dark as night; There's a star to guide the humble, Trust in God and do the right. Let the road be rough and dreary, And its end far out of sight, Foot it bravely, strong or weary; Trust in God and do the right. Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light; Whether losing, whether winning, Trust in God and do the right. Trust no party, sect or faction, Trust no leaders in the fight; But in every word and action Trust in God and do the right. Simple rule and safest guiding, Inward peace and inward might, Star upon our path abiding; Trust in God and do the right. Some will hate you, some will love you, Some will flatter, some will slight; Cease from man, and look above you, Trust in God and do the right.

[JOYnet] Saudi Arabia
Hi, Here is a news item from 'Religion Today' of October 05, 2001: Christian Prisoners Tortured in Saudi Prison Christian sources in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, have informed International Christian Concern (ICC) that at least three expatriate Christians have been physically tortured in prison. The three men are part of a group of at least 15 Christians arrested during the months of July, August and September for conducting religious services in their homes. Though this right is promised by the Saudi authorities in theory, it has not been upheld in practice. Ministry of Interior officials have time and again raided the homes of people suspected of leading Christian fellowships and have confiscated their personal possessions and dragged them off to prison. The tortured men are from Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Nigeria -- countries Saudi Arabia obviously does not think will protest the treatment of their citizens - says ICC. Though the Saudi government has pledged to U.S. officials that they will release the Christian prisoners, they have not yet fulfilled their promise. International Christian Concern continues to call for the immediate release of the Christian men, most of whose families have not been allowed visitation rights. love n prayers, josachayan / Saudi Arabia This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
