Living the Jesus prayer /​ Irma Zaleski.

Plot

The Jesus Prayer has been part of the expression of faith since the earliest years of Christianity. With its many variations, from "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner", to only one word, "Jesus", it has been a font of prayer for the monks, nuns, and lay people of the Eastern Church for centuries. Today, the Jesus Prayer is practiced by men and women, lay and religious, all over the world, from every Christian tradition. Simple in form, but powerful in its potential to develop and transform the heart, it becomes a way of life for those who practice it. It is the perfect prayer for the modern pilgrim.
