Short Reflection for the 25thSunday of the Ordinary Time (B)
Readings: Wisdom 2: 12. 17-20; James 3: 16 – 4: 3; Mark 9: 30 - 37
Selected Passage: "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." (Mark 9: 35b)
Meditation: In our daily life, we are like the disciples who often argue who is the greatest among ourselves or who shall be the first in the community or in our association. Yet, in discipleship, the call we receive is to become servant of all.
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…
