    Today we are starting a new series here on our podcast entitled ‘teach us to pray’.
    With current world events and a growing sense of helplessness in the midst of global turmoil, this series again from our friends at Glenstal Abbey is both timely and important. Today Father Christopher starts this series by considering how the act of prayer itself is a raising of the mind and heart to God.

  • The Jesus Prayer - A Guided Practice
    Jun 3 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The Jesus Prayer is a simple prayer
    Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

    The tradition of the Jesus Prayer goes back to the “prayer of the mind,” recommended by the ancient monks of the Egyptian desert. It was continued as the “prayer of the heart” in Byzantine Hesychasm, a monastic system that seeks to achieve divine quietness.

    There are many ways to approach this ancient and simple form of prayer. Here Canon Robin Morrison shares a little about the prayer and then leads us in a guided practice. We pray it is a practice that blesses you.
