Short Reflection for the 2nd Sunday in the Ordinary Time (B)
Readings: 1 Samuel 3: 3-10; 1 Corinthians 6: 3-15; John 1: 35-42
Selected Passage: “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and See.” (John 1: 38-39)
Meditation: If we truly want to be disciples, we need to SEEK first the abode of the Lord like the first two disciples in the Gospel. By doing so, we shall hear anew the Lord’s invitation “Come and See”. Yes, the Lord invites us to share not only his abode but also his life. In fact, anyone who believes and obeys his commands shares, too, in his sonship thereby is empowered to call God – Abba, which means Father. Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
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…
