30th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)


Readings: Exodus 22: 20-26; 1 Thessalonians 1: 5-10; Matthew 22: 34-40

Selected Passage: "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."  (Matthew 22:36-40)

Meditation: The Love of God and Love of Neighbor remains the basic ethical measure of our words, thoughts and actions. We should not behave and think like the Pharisees and Scribes who multiply laws yet are lacking in the real measure that counts.

In the Muslim Letter – the Common Word between you and us – addressed to all Christian Leaders, it challenges Muslims and Christians to live the Common Bond that unites them both – that is – the Love of God and Love of neighbor.

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...
