| | Jesus Prayer |
| | The Prayer is held to be so outstandingly spiritual because it is focused wholly on Jesus: all thoughts, striving, hope, faith and love are outpoured in devotion to God the Son. | | | The Jesus Prayer can be used for worship and petition; as intercession, invocation, adoration, and as thanksgiving. | | | Prayer has always been of very real importance to me, and the habit formed in early childhood of morning and evening prayer has never left me; but in the practice of the Jesus Prayer I am but a beginner. |

| | Father Demetrios Serfes - Spiritual Nourishment For The Soul |
| | The prayer rope was first made by monastics of the Church and the laity of the church then adopted the use of the prayer rope as well. | | | This prayer is called the "Jesus Prayer," but it's also known in the Orthodox Church as "The prayer of the heart." This prayer can be said by not only monastics, but also any lay person can say the prayer. | | | Once we have the prayer of the heart, suddenly with all the presures of the day, one may be working, or doing something around the house, and the heart says the prayer all by itself, without you asking it to do so...this in itself is true union with our God. |

| | Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner |
| | The prayer is profoundly rooted in the spirit of the gospel, and it is not in vain that the great teachers of Orthodoxy have always insisted on the fact that the Jesus Prayer sums up the whole of the gospel. | | | This is why the Jesus Prayer can only be used in its fullest sense if the person who uses it belongs to the gospel, is a member of the Church of Christ. | | | The Jesus Prayer is known to innumerable Orthodox, either as a rule of prayer or in addition to it, as a form of devotion, a short focal point that can be used at any moment, whatever the situation. |

| | The Jesus Prayer |
| | The Jesus Prayer cannot be separated from the sacramental life of the Church and asceticism. | | | Though there are both longer and shorter versions, the most frequently used form of the Jesus Prayer is: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." This prayer, in its simplicity and clarity, is rooted in the Scriptures and the new life granted by the Holy Spirit. | | | The Jesus Prayer is a signpost along the spiritual journey, a journey that all of us must take. |

| | The Jesus Prayer |
| | This is the general rule for practicing the Jesus Prayer, derived from the Sacred Scriptures and the works of the Holy Fathers, and from certain conversations with genuine men of prayer. | | | The method of prayer propounded by St. John of the Ladder should be adhered to even when one is practicing the method which was explained by the divine St. Nilus of Sora, in the second homily of his monastic constitution. | | | The Jesus Prayer should not be said in a loud voice but quietly, just audibly enough that you can hear yourself.,' It is particularly beneficial to practice the Jesus Prayer aloud when assailed by distraction, grief, spiritual despondency andlaziness. |

| | Prayer - The Lord's Prayer |
| | Jesus teaches that we have a filial relationship with God; God sees us as if we were a daughter or a son. | | | In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus invites us to draw near to God who is beyond human understanding, who dwells in mystery, who is all holy. | | | It is also a prayer that offers the grace of Jesus: his reverence for God, his childlike confidence in his Father, and his power to go bravely through life no matter what comes. |

| | The Christian Scriptures and public prayer |
| | Jesus believed that prayers are to be an intensely personal event between a person and God; no one else should be present. | | | Jesus' message, displayed by his actions, appears to be that it is acceptable, perhaps even desirable to give thanks to God before a communal meal. | | | These included prayer, ritual killing of animals, the making of grain offerings, a yearly transfer of sin from the community to a scapegoat, etc. These were the Jewish practices at the time. |

| | Toyohiko Kagawa: Jesus and Prayer |
| | Jesus Christ for that reason did not teach a form of prayer, but in compliance with the request of the disciples He showed them a model prayer. | | | It may be to advantage therefore to study the psychology of the prayers of Jesus and to learn where the religion of prayer takes its standpoint, and whether prayer is superstitious or not. | | | But the death of Jesus was entirely the death of the Son of God. |

| | The Orthodox Rosary |
| | The Jesus Prayer is a prayer of marvelous versatility. | | | For some there comes a time when the Jesus Prayer ‘enters into the heart,’ so that it is no longer recited by a deliberate effort, but recites itself spontaneously, continuing even when a man talks or writes, present in his dreams, waking him up in the morning. | | | There is one type of private prayer, widely used in the west since the time of the Counter-Reformation, which has never been a feature of Orthodox spirituality — the formal ‘Meditation,’ made according to a ‘Method’ — the Ignatian, the Sulpician, the Salesian, or some other. |

| | The Jesus Prayer |
| | Since the Jesus Prayer originated in Greek monasteries, and was intoned by the Pilgrim in either Russian or Old Church Slavonic, it's probable that those tongues may even more euphoniously massage the words into one's voice and thoughts. | | | The repetition of the Jesus Prayer, focusing the center of one's consciousness on the Passion and Mystery that has enraptured over a billion human beings for twenty centuries, initiates a mental and spiritual alchemy that transforms leaden language into a golden flame of gnosis. | | | Simply repeat the words "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me" a few hundred times a day, the monk tells the Pilgrim, and you shall be well on the way to achieving this seemingly-impossible task, with inner peace and unconditional love for all as added benefits. |

| | Yes we can pray to Jesus! Prayer is simply talking to Jesus |
| | The very last verse of the Bible ends with a prayer to Jesus: Rev 22:20 "Even so, come Lord Jesus" is an example of prayer to Jesus. | | | By way of inference, Jesus, the one who is able to help in a time of need, hears us when we cry out to him for help and he makes intercession to God on behalf of us. | | | It is also interesting that Acts 7, where Stephen sees BOTH Jesus and the Father together in the vision, that Stephen choses to address Jesus in prayer. |
