Dear brothers & sister in christ,


I have two things to ask from you..


I have finally landed a job , and that too after 6 months..what a relief. But
the good Lord was using this 6 months to drastically change me for my good and
by his grace i could get to stay with my baby boy joshua during his formative
days..he is 7 months old now and it pains me real hard to leave joshua & sofi
behind.
I am joining Daewoo Rabia Ltd in Riyadh. I am leaving on 6th afternoon to
Delhi, finish all the peperworks and fly off to riyadh after a week. please do
pray for my safe conduct and for god protection throughout my future life in
Riyadh.

My sister Sifi is getting married on 5th may 2002. I dont know whether you
believe it or not, There ihas been lot of demonic/satanic bondage in her and
around her. people whom we thought we loved and who loved us back, now we have
found to doing black magic against us..or getting it done against us. She is
getting tense day by day. Satan is putting up a big fight and all of us are
real tense here. the whole atmosphere is tense. Please , we need your urgent
prayers for my sister. please do keep her and her marriage in your prayers.


God Bless you.


JYers in Riyadh please do contact me.

[JOYnet] hi

2002-04-13 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,

It has been almost 6 months since i was laid off from my job. That was one of
the the most traumatising moments of my life..the firsat time in my life i was
without a job..doing nothing..

Then..and now I have the Lord !

I had full confidence that the Lord will find me a better job..somewhere where
i can do his bidding.

Now i am getting a pucca chance at a job..concrete..mostly by next month..
but the catch is..it is in saudi arabia..

please pray that my anger (which has been a detrimental trait in me) is under
control and i am ready to work myself to death and my pride is thrown into the
trashbin..

Sofi & little Joshua sends their wishes to you all.


I think there was one Josechayan from Saudi..right? anybody know more?
Any Jys in Saudi...please contact..

[JOYnet] Keep us in your prayers

2002-03-01 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Friends,


we (Sofi, myself and Joshua) are going to see my sister's triplets at 
Chennai. They are at Velacherry.

Joshua will be 5 months old on March 3rd. This is his first Train Journey.
Please pray that he wont feel afraid or get ill during the journey.

My sister and my father are enstranged. My sister hates daddy due to his 
nature of long ago. She balmes him for our mother's death. She thinks that 
he doesnt love her.(but the truth is that he loves all of us very much). She 
has not come into a spiritual life. Please pray that she will come to know 
the lord and repent for all her sins and be joined with daddy again.

About my daddy, he was bad ..bad meaning BAD! a long time ago, when we were 
in school. but he loved us (my mommy and us) very much. Now he has changed 
all his bad ways, but still has not turned to the lord. Pleas pray that he 
will urgently turn to the lord and repent for his sins.

Please pray.


We will be in chennai till 5th evening. keep us in your prayers

[JOYnet] I am in a big predicament

2002-02-23 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear brothers & Sisters in Christ,


I have been mailing & reading in joynet for a long time. perhaps some of you
would remember, that i was laid off from my company due to severe
restructuring. I was at the bleakest point in my life that day when i got my
termination letter. it was exactly 1 week after our baby boy (Joshua, doing 4
1/2 months now) was born. But that day night i submitted everything to my Lord
and i was relieved of tensions. My lord was guiding me. Now irealise that if I
had stayed back in the company(if they had not fired me), i would have landed
in bigger troubles due to some cash problem (not by me, but the blame would
have been put on me)

After that i was living with my family, enjoying my baby. The Lord had guided
me to study a course for QMS ISO 9000:2000 Lead Auditor Certification course,
certificated by IRCA, UK. I had paid 18000/- to join the course and when the
results came out a wek back, i was one of the 10 out 0f 50 who had passed.

I had applied to many Quality certification companies in the middle east &
abroad for jobs.
I had emailed one such man and he had shown interest.
Yesterday i received a phone call from him, asking whether i would be
interested to work for their organisation in kerala. he was vague about the
company(he has not till now, given the name of the company) and the nature of
certification work and what i was supposed to do alone in Kerala. I had mailed
him back asking for detialed information and today i received a mail from him.
he wants me to be a Entrepreunner in kerala and invest to set up an office,
develop businessfor certification and i will get 25% of their payment. He said
that all the investment in Kerala has to be borne by me.

I already have given my papers to my cousin in UAE for preparing a visit visa.
I aim to go there and apply to international ceritifaction companies, where i
could use my engineering background to audit firms of similar nature of my
previous company. there i would be an employee and get a monthly constant
salary and perks.

if i take the offer of this gentleman, i will be a business man investing my
own cash and playing with risk.

What should i  do? Since you are all my brothers & sisters, please give me
your opinions.


I dont know what my Lord has in store for me. please pray that i will be shown
the right path to take.

[JOYnet] serious?

2002-02-15 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear friends,


It is something thats been on my mind for long which i am going to discuss
with you all.

Our Lord,Jesus died for our sins, to save us..

In society(well mine i could say) when a person accepts jesus christ as his
saviour...he is expected to look sombre..dead serious..almost a dead zombie..

I love jesus..I am HAPPY that he died for me...God says so to me ..but the
genearal christian population around me says a diffrent thing...you got to be
serious..you got to be sorry..coz it is due to your sins..Jesus is up on the
cross..


What i  feel is that...God wants you to be happy with the notion that our Lord
Jesus died for our sins...not to be sad or sombre..


what about it?? correct me if iam wrong

[JOYnet] A letter from a special friend.......

2002-02-08 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Hi,

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me. Even
if it was just a few words, Asking my opinion or thanking me for something
good that happened in your life yesterday-but I noticed you were too busy
trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work. I waited again.
When you ran around the house getting ready I knew there would be a few
minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you
had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. I
thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend
to get the latest gossip. I watched as you went to work, and I waited
patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to
say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you
felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You
glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking
to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still
more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me yet you went home and
it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done you
turned on the TV, I don't know if you like TV or
not, just about anything goes there & you spent a lot of time each day in
front of it, not thinking about anything- just enjoying the show. I waited
patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal but again you didn't
talk to me. At bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to
your family, you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay.
Because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience
more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with
others as well. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer, or
thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided
conversation.   Well, you are getting up, and once again I will wait. With
nothing to do but Love and protect you hoping that today you will give me some
time. Have a nice day!

Your friend,
GOD

P.S. Do you have enough time to forward this to another person?

[JOYnet] intercession by Saints

2002-02-04 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Hi all,


I have been reading the mails regarding praying to saints. i wish to add my
view too.


Jn:3:16:
 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(KJV)


The Saints belive in God, Jesus and as per God's covenant with us, those who
beleive will have everlasting lives.


In your day to day life you ask others to pray for you..in intercessory
prayers.
What is wrong if you ask the Saints to pray for you? They are in a much better
life than mortal lfe..ther are everlasting lives..with Lord Jesus.

Rv:8:4: And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

In the book of revelations, it is written as above, the saints are offering
prayers on our behalf to God.




thats all.

YOU STILL HAVE HOPE

If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep,
then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,
then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,
then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism,
then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your
life,
then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise,
then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration,
then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end,
then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection,
then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or cook the turkey,
then you still have hope.

If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy,
then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile, you can still
look up and end the conversation with the phrase... "yeahBUT.."
then you still have hope

Hope is such a marvelous thing.
It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell
ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.
Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.
Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured,
and something that will refresh us in return.
And it can be found in each of us,
and it can bring light into the darkest of places.
Never lose hope

[JOYnet] Two Days Not to worry!!

2002-01-21 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Two Days We Should Not Worry

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something
which happened Yesterday and the dread of what
Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore,
Live but one day at a time.

A Love Letter From Jesus

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did. It really makes you think and
realize what's important. Read this and take it to heart!! I love you all



How are you? I just had to send this letter to tell you how much I love you
and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends.
I waited all day, hoping you would walk and talk with me also. As evening drew
near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you.
Then I waited, but you never came. Oh yes it hurt me, but I still love you
because I am your friend.
I saw you fall asleep last night, and I long to touch your brow, so I spilled
moonlight upon your pillow and your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down
so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.
You awakened late this morning and rushed off for the day. My tears were in
the rain. Today you looked so sad, so alone. It makes my heart ache because I
understand. My friends let me down and hurt me many times, but I love you. I
try to tell you in the quiet green grass. I whisper in it in the leaves and
trees, and breathe it in the color of the flowers. I shout it to you in the
mountain streams, and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with
warm sunshine and the perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than the
oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need you could ever have.
We well spend eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on earth. I
really know because I was there, and I want to help you. My Father wants to
help you, too. He's that way you know. Just call me, ask me, talk to me. It is
your decision. . . I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait. . .
Because I love you.

Your Friend,
JESUS



Hope you all like itas much as i did..coz it shows what we are...and what
our lord is..

[JOYnet] God's Boxes

2002-01-18 Thread roshan mathew verghese

God's Boxes of Love

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I store
But though the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as before
With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out by
I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me.
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, the black is
for you to let go."

We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today
just to let them know that you are thinking of them, and that they are a joy
in your life.

Re: [JOYnet] satanic viruses

2002-01-18 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear friends,


Just like Lijo my computer was affected by a Virus attack. The fool I am, i
had kept the preview pane open in Outlook Express and a "Mailer Daemon" was in
the inbox. Actually it was a self spreading Virus which emailed itself to all
the contacts in the addressbook of the infected computer..and the virus was
W32.badtrans..???something..which my Antivrus software detected but..since it
was a variant, it was under quarantine..i donloaded the latest virus
defenitions..but the variant viruses could not be repaired.

I prayed to God and  i installed the entire ME again and the infected files
are out. but some still are in quarantine.

So folks...if you get something like a code red or melissa...you are a
goner...

Keep on updating your virus defenitions.


those who have configured their outlook express to receive their joynet mails
will be afected...most by attacks..since web based email services have their
own Anti virus softares running round the clock.

[JOYnet] Hi I Love you all

2002-01-14 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,


Well... I feel funny...thinking of what all i was in my past..

I used to be everything against God..

I used to be rationalist...later an agnostic..and then..a atheist...all to run
away from my Lord...away from my responsibilities to him..

I have a real good laugh nowadays when i think of what all i used to preach
and do..

Now, when i am walking with the lord..I am at peace..it is as if the lord has
taken away the dirty shell from my soul and created a new ME!

Previously, i used to be jealous..why does the Lord perform miracles for
others..why not for me..?? i understood that i had not submitted truly..to the
Lord.


Now i  experience miracles daily...both big and small...
He wipes away my tears...fill me with hope that even if the whole world hates
me, he will not abandon me..
he has given me my perfect foil, my better half..my wife Sofi..and a bundle of
Joy ..Joshua..to compensate for all my loveless years..

Now..I want to walk with the Lord...carry my cross...and be full of Joy..


Sometimes when i ask the lord for something..he says you are not serious
enough for it...

but when i go to my mother...the most holy virgin mary (yes. after my mother's
death 16 years back, i have entrusted the position of my mother firmly to
Mother mary and she knows it and love me so) she intercedes for me..and jesus
being the most obeiednt son..grants me waht i ask..

Sometimes i have a thought of myself sitting at the foot of mother mary with
little jesus and both run their hand on my head


no more boring you all


Now i  can love all..without any restraints or constraints and i  love you all
because it was through all your prayers i  have come back to the lord...I love
you all




Yours in Christ for ever,

Roshan Mathew Verghese



I would like to have specific informationfrom priests especially and
anyone who can answer me..


I have gone through a lot of apocryphal gospels...mainly through the Gospel of
nativity of mary and nativity of Jesus and other gospels and acts..

if we celebrate the assumption of Mother Mary and believe that she was
conceived without sin, which is described in the gospels, why are they not
included in the bible?(no where in the bible have i found a mention of the
same)

[JOYnet] a wonder

2002-01-09 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Joynetters,



This piece of wonder i got to share with you all. Defenitley. I am a person
who has come to know Jesus very late..and am still praying for my faith to
grow strong.


I had earlier mentioned in an email thsat my baby Boy Joshua's baptism was on
Dec 31st. I have a younger sister, reeba, who is studying in 6th standard. For
the occassion , mummy had given her a gold chain to wear and after the
ceremony we returned home and the next day the chain was missing.

Meanwhile we had returned back to Adoor, my wife's house. We was informed of
the incidence later only. So we prayed that reeba will find the chain that day
itself.
In the evening Reeba called up to ask us to check our baggage, to see whether
the chain could have gone into it by mistake..as she was talking, se was
playing with a flower vas on the table. she saw something glitering among the
flowers and leaves..YEs! it was her Gold chain.

Praise the LORd for hearing our prayers.

This has strenghtened my belief..that When you ask in faith..your Lord gives
you what you ask for.

[JOYnet] i hope you all wont mind a prayer request on Joynet..

2002-01-08 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Here is a prayer request to you all from my wife Sofi. We are sending this
prayer request direct to Joynet because we want you all to pray strongly for
us.


Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,

I am coming with a very peculiar prayer request . In my house, we have a maid-
servant who has been working here for the past 10 years.  We had been treating
her like a member of the family, never showing any discrimination towards her.

She was fooling us over the years and we never realized it for all these
years. It was only in the past two years that she began to behave strangely
towards us.

Now a days she is talking to us in the tone of black mail or so.
She knows all our secrets and we had been treating her like a family member,
but now a days She has been giving threatening hints that she will tell about
our secrets to outsiders.

The main reason that we have decided to stop her services is that We have come
to know that she is not of Good Character. Many men have come to our house
enquiring for her. It will be a bad name for our family members. We do not
want it to continue.


We have decided to relieve her from her job on this Friday. But since she has
been working for us for over 10 years, we decided that we will give her 1
month’s notice pay and a very good amount (over 10,000/-) as Ex-gratia
payment for her services over the years.

Our major fear is that
a)  she wont leave the job and she wont take the cash
b)  She will black mail us
c)  She will create a legal mess
d)  She will spread rumours about our family


And she is capable of doing it and we know it too.


Please pray that she will leave without creating any scene and please also
pray that she will get an alternate job soon.
We do not want any scene here. Please  pray.


With Love and prayers

Sofi Verghese

[JOYnet] Hi...

2001-12-29 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Brothers and Sisters,


Sofi and Myself would like to inform you all that our Son Joshua's Baptism
ceremony is on December 31st, 4 PM at Mavelikara Thazhakara Church.


If any of you will be in the locality you are cordially invited.

Joshua will be Joshua Thomas Verghese, "Jo mon" at home...already scooting
around on his back..a bundle of joy.

Now i understand ..how much changed one becomes after becoming a parent..I am
so concerec about him and more over relieved that Our Lord will keep him safe.

he already recognizes us both and has already started to call "Hamma" or
"Amma" to Sofi..

One bad habit he has caught alrwady is that he wants to be a person(mostly
sofi's or mine) amrs ratrher than on the bed.




Sofi is quite sad that she is not able to take part in JY as before..sh used
to be a part of the intercessory group...she was very active in TKMCE JY...


Any JYs and EX JYsfrom TKMCE...please feel free to contact us..Sofi wants to
come for the gathering of yours..for alumni...


keep us in our prayers

[JOYnet] apocryphal gospels

2001-12-28 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear friends,


I am writing this  to get help to clarify some of my doubts..

I have a strong , very strong belief in the Holy Mother and i  wanted to know
more about her..i chanced upon certain apocryphal gospels pertaining to her
nativity and life.

I presume that it is on basis of these gospels we belive that The most holy
mother was conceived withot sin and we celeberate her assumption into heaven
and her crowining as the queen iof heaven..and of course..the title of Mother
of all nations..

We celeberate all these, but why dont we include any of these gospels to be a
part of the bible.


I was going thorugh the other apocryphal gospels...and the Gospels of Infancy
of The Lord...were also there...are these apocryphal gospels true?

please explain

[JOYnet] a rosary project..please give your opionions

2001-11-30 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Brothers and Sisters,


I am back from kulathuvayal NRC. I was a real experience.
I had lost my mother at a very young age and here Our Lord has trusted our
most immaculate and virgin mother mary as my mother. I felt the love then.

I am writing this mail for a particular reason.

Our Mother wants us to pry the Rosary daily. The more Rosaries we pray the
more better it is, as it is what is required to drive satan away.

My idea is like this.
We all have a info page on jesusyouth.org regarding our contact addresses and
preference, which we enter and loging in with login name and password. right?

Why dont we do like this.

let us all make a sort of counter on this page.

There should be three categories. :
1. the no. of rosaries that we, at JY have pledged..yes..let us pledge that we
at JY will say..so many rosaries
2. My personal target /contribution to the whole ...say..so many rosaries
3. Daily updatable count...say i prated 5 rosaries today..i  will enter 5 and
update the my rosary count
4. balance monthy rosaries left.

This can be put on the personal details page..or so..

This was an idea which i had while attending the retreat.

Please give your opinion regarding the idea.

If it works, it would be just too great..a big weapon to fight evil..

 the techies at JY can get it into motion ina jiffy

[JOYnet] what about hubbys?

2001-11-19 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Hi all,


Today as i was going through the Holy Bible, i chanced upon a few lines which
i found very wonderful...describing a wife...from sircah.



Happy the husband of a good wife, twice-lengthened are his days;
A worthy wife brings joy to her husband, peace and full is his life.
A good wife is a generous gift bestowed upon him who fears the Lord;
Be he rich or poor, his heart is content, and a smile is ever on his face.

[Sirach 26 :1 – 4]

A gracious wife delights her husband, her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his
bones
A gift from the Lord is her governed speech and her firm virtue is of
surpassing worth.
Choicest of blessings is a modest wife, priceless her chaste person.
Like the sub rising in the Lord’s heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is
the radiance of her home.
Like the light which shines above the holy lampstand, are her beauty of face
and graceful figure.
Golden columns on silver bases are her shapely limbs and steady feet.

[Sirach 26 : 13 – 18]

Well, i am a lucky Hubby!! I have got a gem of a wife and a bundle of joy..


That goes for wives...anything in the bible about how a hubby should be?
ponder on..

Hi all,
I am writing this mail with great pain. Today, after a lot of searching and
discussion (between my wife Sofi and myself) i had decided to go for an Inner
Healing retreat at Nirmala Retreat Centre, Kulathuvayal, near perambra,
Calicut.
My father in law is leaving for Saudi on 22nd and the Retreat is from 18th to
25th. Moreover, i have to attend a 5 day course for Quality management
Systems-Lead Auditor Accreditation at Trivandrum from 3rd Dec to 5th Dec.
I had informed my Dad that i will be attending an inner healing retreat, but
was not sure to which retreat centre i would go. he was happy then, that i was
getting some good sense.
But, after i received the Forms for the course, i again informed my dad that i
am going for a retreat at NRC from 18th to 25th. Then all hell broke loose. he
asked me that, in spite of knowing that my Dad In Law is leaving on 22nd , why
am i going for the retreat from 18th to 25th?? I informed him that i will be
saying goodbye to him on 18th afternoon. But No Use!!I don't know whether it
is true or not, but hereditarily, the males in my family are real hot
tempered. I had a squabble with my Dad, and he slammed down the phone. When i
informed the same decision to my Dad in law, he was cynical towards my
decision and was after me to change it, there too i had a sort of a show down.
I know, that i angered both my dads and i am sorry for that and I will be
conveying it to them (both of them have gone to their respective club for a
night out!)
But, as a son, and a Christian, i have to obey my parents and i don't want to
go against their wishes.
Please pray that they will change their minds to allow me to go for the
retreat.
I had asked for transfer to kerala from Hyderabad for 2 reasons- 1 . to be
with my wife during here pregnancy and 2. to go for an inner healing retreat.
please pray that they change their minds

[JOYnet] hi

2001-10-29 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Dear Friends,
 Here, Joshua is dong fine. Today, we had the traditional 27/28 kettu. All our
relatives had come and it was a quite a nice time. He is such a darling boy.
Sofi is doing fine. She is having a tough time taking care of him. But she
loves it.
My sister, Reena has now the three babies she was carrying. The caesarian
operation went well and due to all your prayers, the babies and the mother are
doing fine. It is 2 boys and 1 girl. Thank you for all your prayers.
 I am not sure to what Christian sabha I belong! My grandfather belonged to
the Orthodox and due to some misunderstanding with the church authorities; he
switched over to Marthoma Sabha. I was born and Baptised in Marthoma. Later,
in my teens my father switched back to Orthodox Sabha and we went with him (we
didn’t affix any importance to that). I have taken communion in Orthodox
Church. Our (my sisters and mine) religious life was nil and when it came to
the point of marriage, we had to choose to go back to Marthoma Sabha. My
brother in laws family wanted a Marthoma Girl only.
All this while, I had no religious feelings. When I married Sofi, she has made
such a big turn around in me that now I ask God before I venture out for
anything. My greatest wish is to take the Holy Communion in the real way-
after a proper confession. My greatest wish is also the union of all the
sabhas back into the Holy Catholic Church.
 Though I am born and brought up in a protestant church, I now believe and
pray in the Catholic way. I want to come back into the fold, but am unsure.
Only if the Lord says to me to go back into the Catholic Church, I would. Now,
I am a catholic believer, though a protestant.
I am ardent believer of our most revered Virgin Mary, Our Mother. I had an
argument with my cousin, who is a protestant over the intercessory prayers to
saints. He says that only Jesus Christ has got the right and power to
intercede. Now Humans (including our Mother Mary) have intercessory powers.
Please clear my doubt.
I want to know more about Saints and martyrs for Christ. Is there any website,
which will inform me in the easiest manner regarding their lives. Two saints
have really caught my mind and whole heart- St. Maria Goretti and St. Francis
of Assissi.  However I could try, I could and would never be able to come a
million mine close to St. Francis of Assissi.
Please pray for me that somebody will guide me through my spiritual growth. My
wife Sofi is good guide, but now as she is resting from the pregnancy, she is
tired. Is there anybody who can help me out?
I am out of a Job by November 10th and now I am searching for a Job. All the
earlier tension and sorrow has vanished because now I know that God didn’t
want me to continue in the Job because it would have meant stagnation for me
both career wise and spiritually.  I know that When a Door is closed to me;
God would open another for me. I am searching out for Jobs and please pray
that I succeed soon.
 I am also desperate to attend an inner healing retreat. Years ago I had gone
to Divine at Muringoor, and there since I was a protestant, I was not able to
confess my sins to anyone at all. I felt so low, but confessed my sis to God
directly hoping surely that I am pardoned. This is the same what I do now.
 Seems I am boring you all with all these banter. The problem is that I want
to be back with the Lord. And I am desperate.
 Love and prayers
 Roshan

[JOYnet] Who named my baby?

2001-10-19 Thread roshan mathew verghese

Hi borhters and sisters,


Some time back i had told you about what we (sofi & myself) had decided to 
call our baby boy.."Joshua". This name was in my mind for some time since 
sofi became pregnant. i dont know how this name came into my mind. But now I 
know.. why.. because It was God who whomself who decided the name for our 
baby.

A few days before, when i was still in my workplace, a preacher(we would 
call him upadeshi in Malayalam) came to sofi's house, and prayed for the 
baby and sofi. After that he placed his hands on the baby's head and recited 
in malayalam :

Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: 
for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

from Joshua 1 : 5,


We had neither told any one else of our decision to name the baby Joshua.
Actually we had a plan, if it is a boy, the name will be Joshua, if it is a 
girl, the name will be Mirriam.

May be you might think that these are coincidences, but i strongly believe 
that The God our Lord, will be with Joshua throughout his life.

I had made a decision, that if ever, the God calls upon Joshua, to walk in 
his way full time, we would never stop him, but will give him our fullest 
encouragement.


love and prayers


roshan

Dear Brothers and Sisters,


it was with the greatest of Joy   i mailed to you all to inform you all 
about the birth of our baby boy Joshua.

I was on the Top of the World then.

Yesterday.. i got a letter from the company..laying me off...in a 
sense..giving me one months time to search for a job..i am out of a job on 
10th novemeber 2001.

i dont know what went wrong. i was doing my job to the fullest of my 
ability. My company is going through a very bad phase. but there are corrupt 
persons who still cling on.

i am not a person who highlights his achievements or blow my own trumpet. i 
dont lick any ones' shoes. these are my drawbacks in this company. i dont 
know what happned really or who is behind it.

here at this site, i rubbed my manager the wrong waycat the beginning of the 
project itself. he was on a vengeance spree.i have forgiven him for all 
that.

when i got the letter i was in a shock, thinking of the baby and sofi. but 
by evening, i had prayed a lot, and had come back to my senses.

my company is not the only company in the world. there are lots of 
companies. iam going to try for another job.

i dont want to know the reasons for my termination.
it will make my mood worse.
now i have left everything to God. He has shown me the waytill now. he will 
show me the way onwards too. he has great plans for me. he is strenghtening 
me for the paln he has for me. i knwo that.

but iam human. i am afraid. of how my inlaws will take it. how my wife sofi 
will take it. she is resting from the pregnancy.


please pray for me brothers and sisters.



love and prayers

roshan
