---------------------------------------------------------------- Prayer for the terrorists http://jesusyouth.org/joynet/dec20.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear All, I think it would be a very good idea to make this a permanent thing, that is, every week we pray for one specific intention. It may be better to keep one intention for a week and pray every day for it than to set an intention every day. Also, it would be a good idea to say a decade or two of the rosary or the chaplet of mercy during the prayer time. The main effort is to keep up the enthusiasm going. To this end, it may be useful to set a very precise, finite, specific and visible intention at least once a month and report on the results as soon as they occur. There is nothing like seeing visible results taking place with our prayers, to keep up the morale of the prayer warriors. Mother Mary tells us that if we knew the power of even a small prayer, we would be praying always. Jesus Youth and the world need a L....O....T of prayer. Another reason is that this will give us a great opportunity to interact with the people who are not in the renewal by communicating and inviting others to pray with us. Yours in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Kurian Nellikunnel, New Jersey, USA
