Dhikr for the 5th Sunday of the Ordinary year (B)

Selected Passage: “Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.”  (Mk.1: 35)

Reflection: We, too, need to find an appropriate time and place where, we can pray… It is so easy to get lost in the maze of everyday life…
Prayer is a privileged moment to listen with much attention to God or simply to sit before his presence with much devotion.

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…
