Pray without ceasing

The Jesus Prayer

A short prayer prayed many times. Breathe in on the first half, breathe out on the second. The chotki — the prayer rope — holds the count for you. Begin small. Be patient.

The Jesus Prayer

“Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of God,
have mercy on me,
a sinner.”

A word from the Fathers

“The continual invocation of the Name of Jesus, joined with the remembrance of His person, is a way of unceasing prayer. It enters the heart slowly, and remains there as a quiet fire.”

— Paraphrased from St. Theophan the Recluse.
