2nd Sunday of Easter (C)


Short Reflection for the 2nd Easter Sunday (C): DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

Readings: Acts of the Apostles 5: 12-16; Revelation 1: 9-11a, 112-13, 17-19; John 20: 19-31

Selected Passage:  Jesus said to him (Thomas), "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." (John 20:29)

Reflection:  Do we need to put our fingers into his wounds in order to believe…?  Jesus is, truly, RISEN!  We believe, because the testimonies of his disciples are trustworthy. They saw and experienced the Risen Lord.

Today we remember God’s Divine Mercy. In the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord, we experience God’s unfathomable Divine Mercy.

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…
