Dhikr for the Trinity Sunday (C)
Readings: Proverbs 8: 22-31; Romans 5: 1-5; John 16: 12-15
Gospel Passage: “But when he comes, the Spirit of Truth, he will guide you to all truth.
Trinity Sunday reminds us that the ONE God we believe in is a community of persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are made unto God’s image and likeness, hence our call and our fulfillment as person is to belong to a COMMUNITY of LOVE and UNITY. This is the “seal” of our common FELLOWSHIP and COMMUNION by our baptism – regardless of color, race, belief, language and gender.
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:
Ÿ Write in one’s heart a certain passage of the Holy Writ…
Ÿ Make the same passage ever present in one’s lips.
Ÿ 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…
