Dhikr for the 2nd Sunday of the ordinary time (A)
Text: “Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God." (John 1: 34)
Meditation: 3 years ago (Jan. 15, 2008), a martyred Oblate priest, Fr. Rey Roda of the Philippines, testified with his blood that Jesus is the Son of God… His life, work and his brutal murder in that God-forsaken island of Tabawan in Tawi Tawi (Philippines) pointed to Jesus who taught us that ‘greater love than this no one has than to lay down one’s life for friends…’ Jesus is our FRIEND… and we are invited to be a friend to one another.
DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD
1st step: Write the text or Dhikr (the Arabic word for REMEMBRANCE) in your heart.
2nd step: Let the text remain always in on your lips and mind - RECITING the text silently as often as possible...
3rd step: Be attentive to the disclosure of the meaning/s of the text in your life.

Dear Bapa Jun, can I ask why you choose to call these Dhikr rather than Lectio Divina - your own tradition? Is there a subtlety I do not know of? [I am not RC, I have been to Sufi Dhikr].
