Dhikr for the 3rd Sunday of Easter (B)
Gospel Reading: Luke 24: 35-48
Selected Passage: “And he said to them, thus it is written
that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that
repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all
the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
(Luke 24: 45-48)
Short Reflection: We are, indeed, witnesses of the life,
teachings and deeds of the Risen Lord, specifically the forgiveness of sins and
LIFE!
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…
