Reflection on the 3rd Sunday of Easter (A)


Readings: Acts 2: 14, 22-33; 1 Peter 1: 17-21; Luke 24: 13-35

Text: But they urged him, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them. (Luke 24: 29)

Meditation: The key to the understanding of the Lord’s breaking the bread is the breaking of one’s bread with stranger.  The two disciples shared their abode and table with the stranger.  This is the same challenge to us all – a lived Eucharist!

Our Christian community, more than ever, NEEDS to remember its conversation with the Risen Lord - to be with the disciples is in saying: ‘were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?

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.
