Short Reflection for the 4th Sunday of the Ordinary Time (C)
Readings: Jeremiah 1: 4-5. 17-19; 1 Corinthians 12: 31 – 13: 13; Luke 4: 21 - 30
Selected Passage: He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.'" And he said, "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. (Luke 4: 23-24)
Reflection: Jesus’ origin was well known to his kinfolks and neighbors. To them, he was simply the carpenter’s son. They wanted to see and touch what Jesus did elsewhere, yet they do NOT believe. The key is to ‘BELIEVE’. Do I accept Jesus, as my Lord and Savior? www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
DHIKR PRAYER 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…
