Miracle Of Virgin Mary at Alexandria

THE VIRGIN SAVES A CHILD FROM UNDER THE WHEELS OF AN
EXPRESS TRAIN:

The mother and her child had moved to visit the Virgin
at Her Church at
Zeitoun. So, they came from Alexandria especially for
that purpose.
When they were trying to get off the train, at a
station seven kilometres
off Cairo, they were pushed by the multitudes. The
mother fell away
from the rails and was not injured. As for the twelve
years old son, he
fell under the wheels.

The mother screamed and passed out.

When she came to, she found her son by her side
calling: "Mother!
Mother!"

In amazement, the mother asked him how he made good
his escape. He
replied that he found, by his side, a Lady in white
garments and with light
emanating from Her face. She placed Her hand over his
head and he bent
it. Seven wagons passed over him. The Lady reassured
him saying, "Don't
be afraid, I am your Mother, the Virgin." When the
last wagon passed,
he rose and saw the Lady disappear. However, he still
feels the Lady
tenderly touch his hand, and Her beautiful sight still
haunts his memory.

Blessed be our Lady and the pride of our race. You
take good care of
your children, and hurry to their protection and help.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
Phil 4:13

JYMACE UPdates...I'm back......

Hello everybody.....

A special wishes to our
kalyaannachaekkan Sujo bhai...A happy married life
from all of us here at JYMACE...
Really really happy to be back after a long
time....our classes and group have restarted now after
a break....i'm so happy to send a mail to my groupo
after a long time...was out of net for sometime...But
now back with a bang....

Last wednesday's group was based
on the healing of the paralysed at Bethseda;John
5:1-13.....the group started with an action song "Cast
ur burdens unto Jesus" and then moved onto Holy word
sharing...

After Bible reading,the insights were
shared...the healing power and mercy of Jesus was the
USP of the reading...Also was shared the need for
internal cleansing,which can only be done by Jesus and
Jesus alone...Eventhough the paralysed was beside the
healing pond for 38 yrs,he was healed only when Jesus
came into his life...similarly,even though we calim to
be in the true church for all these long years,the
true salvation comes only with the arrival of Jesus
and accepting him the true saviour,healer,King,mighty
one,holy one etc...

After this we had a sharing about
the recent outreach to Mallipara parish and the
experiences of Proficus attendees..a JY group was
started there by the initiatives of
Shinto(s7E),Benil(s7E),Nitin(s5C) and Jomy(s5M)...they
gave a really nice sharing and sessions over there and
initiated a group over there...God Bless Them...Please
pray for our Mallipaara Group also in ur prayers...

the sharing by proficus attndees(i don't know
whether that word exists in english !!!!!)...Three of
them(BinuMon and Isha from S3C,Jinson from S5E)...all
of them shared the insights and experiences gained
over there...a common feature was that all of then had
a really wunderful counselling..they also shared with
us their new decisions...God help them keep them..
After this sharing,the group entered into a beautiful
Praise&Worship..Then we welcomed a newcomer into our
group(Manju from S3E) and celebrated birthday of two
sisters(Manju from S3E and Gigi from S3C)..

Thats all for now....One day
program plans going on..Almost in final stage..Please
pray for that..GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU...

With luv and prayers,
Jeffie John,
S5L...

Psalms 91

 

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation

God's Love

A vacationing family is driving along in their car, windows rolled down,
enjoying the warm summer breeze of the sunny day. All of a sudden
a big black bee darts in the window and starts buzzing around inside
the car. A little girl, highly allergic to bee stings, cringes in the back seat.

If she is stung, she could die within an hour (or sooner).

"Oh, Daddy," she squeals in terror, "it's a bee! It's going to sting me!"

The father pulls the car over to a stop, and reaches back to try to catch
the bee. Buzzing towards him, the bee bumps against the front windshield
where the father traps it in his fist. Holding it in his closed hand, the father
waits for the inevitable sting. The bee stings the father's hand and in pain,
the father lets go of the bee.

The bee is loose in the car again. The little girl again panics, "Daddy,
it's going to sting me!"

The father gently says, "No honey, he's not going to sting you now.
Look at my hand."

The bee's stinger is in my hand!

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
-- 1 Cor. 15:55

Jesus says to us, "Look at my hands."

He has satan's sting,
the sting of death,
the sting of sin,
the sting of deceit,
the sting of feeling worthless.
Jesus has all of those stingers in His hands.

When you see that nail-scarred hand, realize that, on your behalf,
Jesus took all the pain that satan could throw at Him. He reduced
satan to a big black bee that has lost its stinger -- all satan can do
is buzz around.

That's the victory that Jesus won for you!

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.

The Nicene Creed
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, not factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum: sedet ad desteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est com gloria judicare vivos et mortuos. cujus regni non erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam ventura saeculi. Amen.
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being With the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Jesum Christum, filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum: qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus; descendit ad inferos; tertia die resurrexit a mortuis; ascendit ad caelos; sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis; inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam Catholicam, Sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Salve Regina
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae; Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.


V. Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi

Hail Holy Queen
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Laudate Dominum
Psalms Chapter 116 (117)
This hymn is added here for the benefit of Mangalorean Catholics who recite this song at most functions.

Laudáte Dóminum omnes gentes
(laudáte éum) omnes populi
Quóniam confirmáta est
súper nos misericordia eius
et véritas Domini mánet in æternum
Glória Pátri et Filio et Spiritui Sáncto.
Sicut érat in pricipio et nunc et semper
et in sáecula sáeculorum Amen.

O Praise the Lord, all ye nations:
praise him, all ye people.
For his mercy is confirmed upon us:
and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
