Short Reflection for the 3rd Sunday in the Ordinary Time (B)
Readings: Jonah 3: 1-.10; 1 Corinthians 7: 29-31; Mark 1: 14-20
Selected Passage: Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of people." (Mk.1:17)
Meditation: Jesus calls ALL. His invitation is to become his companions and co-workers in building God’s kingdom. Are we willing to abandon everything and heed his call? No one can remain bystander when Jesus calls. The first disciples heard the call; abandoned everything; and followed Jesus. Today, Jesus invites us to do , likewise. Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
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…
