5th Sunday of Easter (C)


Short Reflection for the 5th Easter Sunday (C)

Readings: Acts 14: 21-27; Revelation 21: 1-5; John 13: 31-33. 34-35

Selected Passage:  “I give you a new commandment: * love one another as I have loved you, so you also should love one another.  This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13: 34-35)

 Reflection:  The new measure of our love for on another is the love of Christ for each one of us.  Jesus shows his love in the CROSS, that is, Jesus’ self-expenditure that we may have life to the full.  ‘Love one another as I have loved you’. By this kind of love, people will know that we bear the name Christians are his true disciples! 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…
