Short Reflection for the Feast of All Saints
Readings: Revelations 7: 2-4, 9-14; 1 John 3: 1-3; Matthew 5: 1-12a
The Beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor; Blessed are they who mourn; Blessed are the meek; Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; Blessed are the merciful; Blessed are the clean of heart; Blessed are the peacemakers; and Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness…” (Matthew 5: 7-9)
Meditation: The Beatitudes remain the daunting challenges for every disciple of Jesus Christ. They are the keys to true happiness and true HOLINESS that we all seek as sons and daughters of God. www.badaliyya.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…
