The Jesus Prayer

A short prayer of the heart. It is repeated slowly, in rhythm with the breath — on the road, at work, in anxiety.

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

The holy Fathers advised saying this prayer quietly and without haste: breathing in — “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God”; breathing out — “have mercy on me, a sinner”. When it is hard to concentrate, one word is enough: “Jesus”.
