The Solemnity of Pentecost



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…
