Short Reflection for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)



Readings:  Jeremiah 20: 7-9; Romans 12: 1-2; Matthew 16: 21-27

Gospel Passage: What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? (Matthew 16: 26)

Meditation: The Gospel challenges us to take a second hard look at our values and integrity… our words and life that have become so “flexible” and “ambiguous” these days that everyone seems to have a price tag. We have to say NO to a culture that says that persons are marketable commodities… Cuidate!

DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD

Dhikr is an Arabic word which means REMEMBRANCE.
1st step: Write the text in your heart.
2nd step: Let the text remain always in on your lips and mind - RECITING the text silently as often as possible...
3rd step:  Be attentive to the disclosure of the meaning/s of the text in your life.
