Readings: Sirach 27: 4-7; 1 Corinthians 15: 54-58; Luke 6: 39-45
Selected Passage: “A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks." (Luke 6: 45)
Reflection: The Gospel reminds all sundry that we need to examine what is in out hearts. The heart reveals the true color of the person. What is stored in our hearts? Goodness; gratefulness love and respect for others flow from a GOOD HEART. Similarly, bitterness, jealousy, pride and anger flow from a BAD HEART. Beware, our deeds reveal what is stored in our hearts. Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
DHIKR PRAYER 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…
