Dhikr for the 2nd week of Lent (C)

Text: “Then from the cloud came a voice that said, ‘this is my chosen Son; listen to him’.” (Luke 9: 35)

Meditation: Lent is a season to experience our own transfiguration and to believe and hear the words that we, too, are God’s beloved sons and daughters…

DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD...

Dhikr is an Arabic word for remembrance. In the “tariqa” (the way) movement, dhikr developed into a form of prayer… It is a prayer of the heart… following three simple steps:

1. Write in one’s heart a certain passage of the Holy Writ…
2. Make the same passage ever present in one’s lips.
3. Then wait for God’s disclosure on the meaning of the passage…that interprets one’s life NOW…!

It takes a week of remembering (dhikr)…or even more days to relish the beauty of this method…
