3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
 (B)

Readings: Jonah 3:1-5, 10; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20

Passage: Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of people." (Mk.1:17)

Reflection:  Jesus is inviting us to become his companions and co-workers in building God’s kingdom… Are we willing to  pay the prize of discipleship, that is, abandon everything… and heed his call?

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…
