Short Reflection for the 24th Sunday of the Ordinary Time (B)
Readings: Isaiah 50: 5 – 9a; James 2: 14 – 18; Mark 8: 27 - 35
Selected Passage: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny him/herself, take up his/her cross, and follow me.” (Mark 8: 34)
Meditation: The same question is being asked of us today… Who is Jesus to us? The answer is, often, found NOT in our words but in our actions and attitudes. To know ho Jesus is to continue listening to him and journeying with him. Often, this means being like Christ – taking up our crosses, denying ourselves and follow him – a life offered for the life of the many.

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…
