Short
Reflection for Pentecost Sunday (B)
Readings:
Acts 2: 1-11; 1 Corinthians 12. 3-7. 12-13; John 20: 19-23
Selected
Passage: “Jesus breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy
Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are
retained." (John 20: 22-23)
Reflection:
We have not received the spirit of slavery and live in fear, but the Holy Spirit
that makes us sons and daughters of God. The Holy Spirit empowers us to call
God – Abba (Father)! And with the power of the Holy Spirit, we preach the
Gospel of Life and forgive those who tresspass against us.
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…
