“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to
the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it
produces much fruit.” (Jn. 12: 24)
In the coming days, mystery of “falling and
dying” and “producing much fruit” will unfold in that event of Jesus’s dying
for us and rising from the dead…
The martyrdom of OMI Missionaries in the Sulu
Archipelago – Fr. Nelson Javellana, OMI, Jolo Bishop Benjami de Jesus, OMI, Fr.
Benjamin Inocencio, OMI and Fr. Jesus Reynaldo Roda, OMI – reminds us of the
real ‘falling and dying’….
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…
