[JOYnet] Prayer for World Peace - Reworked

2003-02-06 Thread Sanju Joseph
Dear Bros and Sis,

 There was a suggestion from Abraham Joseph to
include a theme which our Pope John Paul II spoke of
in his address for the Celebration of the World Day of
Peace 1 Jan 2002. It speaks about NO PEACE WITHOUT
JUSTICE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT FORGIVENESS. I have
included the same point in the prayer now. We will be
bringing this prayer at the Saturday Night Vigil at
Renewal Retreat Center here in Bangalore. So we will
have nearly 100 youngsters supporting us that night.
Besides, the same will be posted to the Night Vigil
E-group. Please network and garner maximum support for
the prayer initiative as this is indeed a Clear And
Present Danger. Do not hesitate to forward this
prayer to all the people in your Address Book and ask
them to do the same.

Love and Prayers
Sanju

So here it goes again.

---
Prayer for World Peace
---

In the Name of the Father and Of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit Amen.

Lord and heavenly Father we offer into your Holy
Hands this beautiful world you had created for us. The
world you loved so much, that you gave your only Son
our Lord Jesus Christ so that every human will be
saved. The world you created so beautifully and
carefully so that we may live in harmony and peace. We
your children cry out to you Heavenly Father, for
peace and protection in this beautiful world with its
diverse race, religions and ethnic backgrounds. Save
this world Heavenly Father from all catastrophic
devastation fought by human beings against one
another. O Lord of every continent, every nation and
every life on earth we call on Your most Holy Name to
redeem the whole creation with Your Mighty Hand. Send
your legions of  peace angels led by St. Michael the
Arch Angel to all the strife torn areas in this world.
Demonstrate your power by bringing healing and peace,
where hate , pride and arrogance divide your people;
where bitter threats are hurled between world leaders
and where your children take to terrorism and wars to
solve mutual problems.  Lord we bring to you every
world leader, every organisation striving for peace
and for war; and claim the precious blood of your son
Lord Jesus Christ over them. Let the stubborn minds
melt and let the stiff legs bend down before Your
Majesty. Change their minds , Change their attitudes
and Change their intentions Lord. We bind, defuse and
send to the foot of the Cross in Calvary every weapon
formed by the devil against your children and this
world. We come against all chemical, neuclear,
biological and other lethal weapons formed by wicked
minds; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We
bind all proud thoughts and actions by world leaders
and people by the wounds of Lord Jesus Christ. Restore
in our hearts the vision of peace, joy and unity in
the world. We cry out Victory in the name of Jesus
Christ ; the name to which all powers, principalities
and dominions in heaven, earth and hell are humbly
submissive.

We dedicate all continents into your most holy
hands. We bring in a special way the threat of another
war in the Middle East region. We pray for a
root-cause healing of all the problems there. May all
resentment and revenge be replaced by  Love and
Forgiveness . May Human Justice be replaced by Divine
Justice through Forgiveness. Bless the nations with
the grace of Forgiveness, so as to heal and rebuild
troubled human relations from their foundations. And
May Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and every
religion, race and creed in this world cry out Holy,
Holy in one voice to you the El Shadai, the Adonai. 

 We all unite together with every soul and saint
in heaven as we pray and dedicate this world and each
one of us to the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the
sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with
the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the
power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin: individual
sin and the sin of the world, sin in all its
manifestations. Let there be revealed once more in the
history of the world the infinite saving power of the
redemption: the power of merciful love. May it put a
stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your
Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope and
peace.

We invoke the army of all heavenly Angels, Arch
Angels and Saints to powerfully intervene, intercede
and to protect this world from the darts of the evil
one.

St. Michael the Arch Angel defend this world and
pray for us. 
Sts. Paul and Peter defend this world and pray for
us.
St. George defend this world and pray for us.
All the Angels and Saints bring peace to the
World.

Jesus Son of David Have Mercy On Us (3 times)

Our Father, Hail Mary , Glory Be.

[JOYnet] should we fear it??

2003-02-06 Thread wijo peter
Dear friends,
This is regarding a program telecasted yesterday 4-2-03 on a reputed malayalam
channel at about 8pm. It was a report on the Hindu Sangamam at Cherukolpuzha.
The person was talking about making India a Hindu nation. He was making a
comparision study about the vedic books, Quran and the Bible. He was making
unrelevent comparisions and statements telling that Hinduisum is the only
religion which has scientific base, from his talks we can understand that he
is not at all aware of the teachings of the Holy Bible or Quran. He strongly
states that India should become a Hindu country. He is worried about our
institutions, publications and all these type of movements. Still I wonder why
this type of programs are telecasted in prime time.
Yet another news is from the madrassas (muslim study centers) here nearby,
they are taking classes to muslim youth. they are not at all worried about
hindus but they really are afraid of christians, they teach that christianity
was not God created but was a creation of the mastermind of Saint Paul. who
was first killing all christians but afterwards found a scope of becomming the
leader of a big group he managed to make a 'story' of his encounter with God
and later he became the first pope.
They have many more arguements and these type of stories. (still they fear to
say a bad word about Jesus and mother Mary.)
some of my friends (muslims) comes to clarify these types of stories.
why should they do such things , to make bad remarks of christianity to boost
up their religion.  won't this be a threat to us later on??.
should'nt we pray for this too?
with prayers and love
wijo

The Shepherd Struck, the Flock Scattered

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,
says the LORD of hosts. Strike the shepherd, the sheep may be scattered; I
will turn my hand against the little ones. In the whole land, says the LORD,
two-thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one-third shall be left alive.
And I will put this third into the fire, refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer
them. I will say, They are my people and they will say The LORD is our
God

[JOYnet] Job Vacancy - do not delete --- to help is divine.

2003-02-06 Thread Jinson J.Elayidom
Hi friends

Let me suggest some point on job Vacancy...

What Predeep George said is correct
we have to consider the sufferings of an unemployed...
There r a large no of youth who r in a job but no salary... 
their situation is really pathetic...
I have got some friend who is facing this situation... 
I can feel how they r struggling to maintain the DIGNITY of an
employee

Second about the JoyNet.. I think Jason well explained in his mail(Job
Vacancy - do not delete)... it's a fact that when we r in a group we
have to admit the rules of the group... understand the motto and the
vision ... understand carefully our duty and why we r here... and act
accordingly.

Now the BALL is in the Job list's court...
They r really doing a good job...  we cant neglect their hearty helping
hand to the unemployed... if we cant appreciate... at least don't
discourage them...

But I feel it will be better if we consider these points while sending
mails to joynet...

1. post only Genuine Opportunities.. like internal employee references

and while sending write the subject line something like JOB
OPPORTUNITY
this will help to differentiate the mail... will be helpful for both who
wand to look through and delete...

2. try to make only personalised replies to mails like Job Listing,
prayer requests.. etc...unless u think its useful to the entire
Family... this will reduce the mails to Joy Net...

al last a request to the Admin of Joynet (both Spiritual and Technical)
plz don't appreciate, BUT NEVER discourage the JY's who is mailing the
Job Openings... any way someone is getting a help ... a small
contribution from our part...

luv and prayer
jins

Hi all dear bro  sis' ,

First I thought I would not take part in this discussion regarding the
posting
of job oppertunities in Joynet.Later I realise that if i  did n't say
something  I am doing injustice to those people who had posted some job
oppertunities here.

Ofcourse I agree that Joynet is not intended for posting jobs or finding
friends Sure , there are other places  only for these purposes.

As we  all know  thousands of appllicants are wandering around these
days.Most
Companies do not publish their job opennings in the jobsites.Most of the
posts
are  filled thru internal employee references now a days.

Job seekers, who are not having   personal contacts with employees in
companies would not even know about the opennings.I would like to invite
your
kind attention to two recent postings in the Joynet.
One was by jobi varghese and the other one was from stanly
kulangara.Jobi's
posting was about an openning in his company (Oracle) and he did give
his
company id.No where else the comapny published the job opening and you
can
apply only thru employees.That means if you do n't have a contact in
Oracle
you are not eligible for applying.In this cirumstance what he did is a
Divine
help,  I have no doubt to  call it as  divine help.I can n't find
something
wrong in helping others in any circustnace by any means.Also I think a
good
number of JOYnet members will benifit from such postings.If you do n't
need
why can n't you simply delete it upon reading the subject.?
How such mails can fill the Inboxes? When The text mails are normally of
size
less than 50 k.

Not all can survive in this world dedicating all  their time for
spiritual
works.But for most us spiritual life is a most important PART of our
life.Those who   argued aganist job posting, i think are already
enjoying good
positions.

I think I did n't hurt any oneMy humble opinion is that  we  should
post
important openings (especailly those are not available in any other
place) in
JOYnet.

TO HELP IS DIVINE.


regards and prayers

Re: [JOYnet] Prayer Day

2003-02-06 Thread Joseph lonth
Dear Joynet warriors
With the war clouds getting thicker life in the Arabian/Persian Gulf region 
is becoming a nightmare not only for Americans and Europeans but Christians 
as well.

If the war breaks out all Christians will be the main target in All Islamic 
countries irrespective of their role in the episode. The world will never 
be the same again and terrorism will spread like wildfire.
We cannot run away from the reality. We have to face the situation with due 
prayer and trust in the Lord.

As Bro. Kurian has taken the initiative and Sindhu and Sanju leading the 
Christian war let us all join together to lift our thoughts and concerns 
towards heaven where we will have ready answers.

Let us add Jesus' prayer: John 17:9-26 to our prayer.

God bless you

[JOYnet] On JOYnet

2003-02-06 Thread flora
Hi Pals

Nice to know that you guys are opening up.
It a good thought that we need to help the unemployed.
At least I can understand what it means by being unemployed
as I had to struggle a bit, without having enough dough to
fill my stomach, to get a job after completing
my graduation in engineering.

But why only unemployed ?
How about the unmarried who are looking out for their right partners ?
How about those who are looking out for their lost friends.
We have our stories to forward
We have our prayer requests to post.
We need to conduct our spiritual discussions.
We need to post birthday notification.
We need to send the news across.
The list grows...

For all that we have only one JOYnet and many of
us cannot afford to have SO MANY mails daily.
Now say..
Do we not need to prioritise on what we can send to joynet?
Do we not have to limit on the type of mails that we can send?
Let's ask ourselves and not the list admin.
Please do not be under the impression that the Admins
(who ever they are) are running the joynet and they impose their on rules.

JOYnet all ours and we need to let it go in the proper direction.
Please do not open a discussion on this, instead let's think
before reading/sending an email to joynet.
Is it going to be benefitted for me or to others in my
JOYnet community in a spiritual way?

with Love in Christ
Giju
[who happened to be one of those poor list admins]

My comments on [JOYnet] Clarification Luke 12:53

2003-02-06 Thread Ravi Vaz
Hi Joynetters,

This passage is one of the more difficult passages to
accept if you read it literally at face value.
Even the fundamentalists are a bit wary about speaking
abt this passage..
We shouldnt read this passage alone..
we should read from versus 49-53 together..
then the real meaning comes out.

here it is..
49 
 I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish
it were already blazing! 
50 
 There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and
how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! 
51 
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on
the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 
52 
From now on a household of five will be divided, three
against two and two against three; 
53 
a father will be divided against his son and a son
against his father, a mother against her daughter and
a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against
her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law. 


we always call jesus the prince of peace and here he
is doing the unexpected..
Here he is saying that he hasnt come to bring
peace.!!!

But then what is this peace that he is talking about..

Remember that the Hebrew language has very few words ,
hence many words convey different meanings in
different contexts..
For e.g the other troublesome passage is .. Hate
your father and mother.. which is in stark contrast
to the commandment. honour your father and mother

The crucial word here is hate which in this context
means  not to prefer. they didnt have a word in
hebrew for prefer so they used the word for hate.
Jesus is saying prefer me to your parents.. I should
be first always ;they can be next..
 
Let us realise that we are using an english bible..

The hebrew was remembered and written in Greek, then
translated to latin, then translated to old english
and now is available in modern english.
So the english translates it word for word as hate..

In the same way in our passage the word Peace can mean
the harmony that exists in families and in
communities.

Jesus is saying that the message he is bringing is so
radical that it will even divide families( which is
the most united among all groups) into those who
accept and those who reject this message.

this is the comment the NAB bible adds as a footnote
to this passage.

Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom is a refining and
purifying fire. His message that meets with acceptance
or rejection will be a source of conflict and
dissension even within families.

This is the meaning of this passage and it is true
since we have seen it happen all over the world for
the last 2000 years even among some members in our
very own joynet..

Love and Prayers

Ravi

[JOYnet] a small announcement

2003-02-06 Thread Leese
Dear Friends:

 

Kudos to all those who are actively participating and contributing to JOYnet these 
days.  It’s been nice to see that some of the recent discussions are inspiring each of 
us to think about and treasure the riches of the Church much more than in the past.  
Keep up the great work.

 

I write to you now to share a bit of good news.  I will be arriving in India this 
Monday for my engagement.  Yes, I have finally found the right guy and am getting 
married.  :)  The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful gift by the name of Don Austin 
who is from Chellanam near Cochin.  Our engagement is on Sat., Feb. 15th at St. Jude 
Church in Thevara at 11 am.  A special thanks to all who had interceded on my behalf 
for the past couple of years to find Don, who embodies everything that I have prayed 
for over the last 10 years.  

 

I ask your continued prayers as we prepare spiritually and in all other ways for our 
wedding that will be held here in the U.S. on July 5th, 2003.  Trust in the Lord and 
do good… He will make known your ways and be faithful to His promises.  

 

Take care  God bless.

Dear Tessy,

Greetings of peace and goodwill.

Thank you for the clarification. But still I couldnt
able to understand or compare the Word of God with the
explanation given by you.

Not Peace but Division 

49I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I
wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism
to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is
completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on
earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on
there will be five in one family divided against each
other, three against two and two against three. 53They
will be divided, father against son and son against
father, mother against daughter and daughter against
mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and
daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. 

with love and prayers in Jesus,
Sebastian

 --- Abha Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Dear
Sebastian,
 
 One of the pastors I know had given this
 interpretation to this passage. But you would need
 to read from Luke 12: 51 onwards. 
 
 Here it says that Jesus Christ has not come for
 unity but for division. When do fights and quarrels
 come up in families.. it is when family members have
 focus on things other than Jesus. If family members
 hold anything other than Jesus as their focal point
 then it leads to misery and strife in the family. In
 usual families Jesus is replaced with money,
 selfishness, worldly pleasures etc.. 
 
 If Jesus is given the rightful place then there will
 be peace in one's life and in one's family.

Final Version of the Joynet Prayer for Peace.

---
Prayer for World Peace
---

In the Name of the Father and Of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit Amen.

Lord and heavenly Father we offer into your Holy
Hands this beautiful world you had created for us. The
world you loved so much, that you gave your only Son
our Lord Jesus Christ so that every human will be
saved. The world you created so beautifully and
carefully, so that we may live in harmony and peace.
We your children cry out to you Heavenly Father, for
peace and protection in this beautiful world with its
diverse race, religions and ethnic backgrounds. Save
this world Heavenly Father from all catastrophic
devastation fought by human beings against one
another. O Lord of every continent, every nation and
every life on earth we call on Your most Holy Name to
redeem the whole creation with Your Mighty Hand. Send
your legions of  peace angels led by St. Michael the
Arch Angel to all the strife torn areas in this world.
Demonstrate your power by bringing healing and
peace, where hate , pride and arrogance divide your
people; where bitter threats are hurled between world
leaders and where your children take to terrorism and
wars to solve mutual problems.  Lord we bring to you
every world leader, every organisation striving for
peace and for war; and claim the precious blood of
your son Lord Jesus Christ over them. Let the stubborn
minds melt and let the stiff legs bend down before
Your Majesty. Change their minds , Change their
attitudes and Change their intentions Lord. We
bind, defuse and send to the foot of the Cross in
Calvary every weapon formed by the devil against your
children and this world. We come against all chemical,
neuclear, biological and other lethal weapons formed
by wicked minds; in the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth. We bind all proud thoughts and actions by
world leaders and people by the wounds of Lord Jesus
Christ.Restore in our hearts the vision of peace, joy
and unity in the world. We cry out Victory in the
name of Jesus Christ ; the name to which all powers,
principalities and dominions in heaven, earth and hell
are humbly submissive.

We dedicate all continents into your most holy
hands. We bring in a special way the threat of another
war in the Middle East region. We specially bring to 
you Iraq, the USA, Israel and all other countries in
the Gulf Region. We bring the leaders and decision
makers in these countries - military and political
before you; and pray for a renewal of their minds 
by the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray for a
root-cause healing of all the problems in this region.
May all resentment and revenge be replaced by  Love
and Forgiveness . May Human Justice be replaced by
Divine Justice through Forgiveness. Bless the nations
with the grace of Forgiveness, so as to heal and
rebuild troubled human relations from their
foundations. And May every Religion, Race and Creed in
this world cry out Holy, Holy in one voice to you
the El Shadai, the Adonai.

 We all unite together with every soul and saint
in heaven as we pray and dedicate this world and each
one of us to the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the
sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with
the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the
power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin: individual
sin and the sin of the world, sin in all its
manifestations. Let there be revealed once more in the
history of the world the infinite saving power of the
redemption: the power of merciful love. May it put a
stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your
Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope and
peace.

We invoke the army of all heavenly Angels, Arch
Angels and Saints to powerfully intervene, intercede
and to protect this world from the darts of the evil
one. We offer our request for peace in this world
through every Mass and Eucharistic worship done all
across the world today.

St. Michael the Arch Angel defend this world and
pray for us.

Sts. Paul and Peter defend this world and pray for
us.

St. George defend this world and pray for us.

All the Angels and Saints bring Peace and Good
News to the World.

Jesus Son of David Have Mercy On Us (3 times)

Our Father, Hail Mary , Glory Be.

John 17:9-26
