27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)

Short Reflection for the 27th Sunday of the Ordinary Tear (B)

Readings:  Genesis 2: 18-24; Hebrew 2: 9-11;  Mark 10: 2 - 16

Selected Passage: "But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment." (Mark 10: 5)

Meditation:  We, too, are often afflicted with a certain hardness of heart.  We find this “hardness” in our heart and it makes us blind to God’s way.  We need to allow God to touch the hardness in us and he will melt it, thereby allowing GRACE to flow again in our life and community.

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…
