17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)

[Bapa Jun Mercado]

Dhikr for the 17th week of the ordinary year (B)

Gospel Reading: John 6: 1-15

Selected assage: “A large crowd followed Jesus, because they saw the
signs he was performing on the sick.” (John 6: 2)

Short Reflection: Do people, likewise, see the signs we are performing
in the name of Jesus… on the poor, the migrants and the excluded in
the way we live and minister…?

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…
