The Jesus Prayer (en Inglés) - Nun Christina;Abbot Hariton Dunaev

This valuable text presents the Jesus Prayer as a simple yet powerful path for gathering the mind and heart before God. It teaches that the prayer is not a mere repetition of words, but a means of standing inwardly before the Lord with faith, attention, humility, and repentance. The text explains that the words "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me" help guard the heart, scatter wandering thoughts, and keep the soul in remembrance of God. It also shows how the Jesus Prayer can lead from outward verbal prayer to noetic prayer, where the mind descends into the heart and prays with deeper awareness. Great care is taken to warn that the prayer must not be treated as a talisman or technique, since its power comes from faith in Christ and the turning of the whole person toward Him. The book also speaks about unceasing prayer, showing that this means living continually before God in attention, reverence, and love. Overall, it offers a practical and spiritual guide to the Jesus Prayer as a way of inner purification, watchfulness, and union with God.
