Short Reflection for the 11th Sunday in the Ordinary Year (B)
Readings: Ezekiel 17: 22-24; 2 Corinthians 5: 6-10; Mark 2: 26-34
Selected Gospel Passage: “The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed which at the time of its sowing in the soil is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big braches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.” (Mark 4: 31-32)
Reflection: The kingdom of God is planted to each one of us at Baptism. Like the mustard seed, the reign of God grows in us through listening to his Word, celebration of the sacraments and through good deeds. What is important is that we should ALWAYS pay attention is the ever increasing presence of God in our lives… both in our words and deeds. If we are involved in God’s work (kingdom of God), we must have patience. www.badaliiya.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…
