Readings: Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15; 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12; and Luke 13:1-9
Selected Passage: 'For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?' (Luke 13: 7)
Reflection: Years have we been living on this earth, yet the same question is asked of us - do we bear fruit for others? Why should we exhaust the soil when we neither bear fruit nor give shade for others? We produce NONE or reap only for ourselves. Beware… else we, too, are cut down!
In this season of Lent, we hear the invitation to conversion - a change of heart and mending our ways. Conversion also , means bearing fruits. Thus we need NOT only listen to the Word of god, to pray and fast, but also to do charitable works. 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…
