Short Reflection for the 4th Week of Lent (B)
Readings:
2 Chronicles 36: 14-16. 19-23; Ephesians
2: 4-10; John 3: 14-21
Selected Passage: “And
this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred
darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the
light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed.”
(Jn. 3: 19-20)
Meditation Lent is a special season
to LOOK at the VERDICT on our own life.
Our good deeds are our witnesses that we belong to the light. The true sacrifice that the Lord requires of
us is good deed extended to our neighbors in need. 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…
