The Jesus Prayer led me to the waters of Baptism and to be received into the Orthodox Church by Holy Chrismation during Holy Week 2023. I love to use this tool to bring me closer to my Savior! Lord, I am not worthy even to gather crumbs from beneath your table! Have mercy upon me — the worst sinner. (1 Timothy 1:16)

[virginiachryssikos]

This is very well presented. Thank you. (Regarding "pronunciation" the "ch" in "hesychast, "
is usually pronounced with a "k" or an "h" sound.).

[danielvansantvoort]

Thank you so much for this excellent presentation - I really (with many others) will treasure this

This is great. Because I struggle with scrupulosity, I have trouble discerning which phrase or word to pick. With several of them being praised by different saints I cannot help but feel that I am choosing the wrong one. I know that this is false because the prayer of the heart is beyond words and any of these would do. But my scrupulosity and heart battle it out which can be crippling. I love the Jesus prayer, and the O God come to my assistance, and the shorter ones as well.

I also don't agree with the distinction between Latin and Eastern Christian thought on this matter. Although they both have different backgrounds and approaches, both lungs of the Church are based on the same foundation and they do connect. For example, many saints in the Latin rite recommend short arrow prayers which is the same thing. And the Cloud of Unknowing is an ancient western book basically recommending the same thing - finding one word to meditate on.

[virginiarzekonski]

I thought we all practiced this? Don’t we? How can one have a relationship with God without spending time in silence, emptying self while turning all thoughts to Christ with the sole purpose of listening to Him and what He would say to us if He chose to? How can one pray without this? This is shocking to me that some think this is some extreme thing. Hasn’t everyone sat to pray and then time listening for an hour or so only to realize it’s been 4 hours or more. Though a very wonderful experience Isn’t this normal for

In the description, I take it that you spelled the word "Pascha" in the Romanian vernacular? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I love the music you chose, because it really helps me experience the exquisite joy of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
