21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) - The Narrow Gate



Short Reflection for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) 

ReadingsIsaiah 66:18-21; Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13; Luke 13:22-30.

Selected Passage“Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them, "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.” (Luke 13: 23-24) 

Meditation:  To enter the Kingdom of God is not a question of strength and merit.  No one is strong enough and neither anyone is meritorious enough to win the Kingdom! It is a GIFT.  But walking along the path of Jesus means to bear fruits. And fruits associated to the lives of Christians are – justice, charity and mercy! So pray for these fruits. Remember that the Kingdom is God’s gratuitous offer to all! Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com

DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD... 
1st step: Write the Dhikr (the Arabic word for REMEMBRANCE) in your heart. 
2nd step: Let the Dhikr remain always in on your lips and mind - RECITING the Dhikr silently as often as possible... 
3rd step:  Be attentive to the disclosure of the meaning/s of the
Dhikr in your life.
