THE JESUS PRAYER
When we think of a person’s name, that person seems to come alive for us. A famous singer or athlete, a friend or relative: the mention of their name has the power to put them before eyes
Mentioning the Lord’s name in faith does even more.
When we call on the name of Jesus,
we are actually putting ourselves in touch with His presence a presence that is always with us.
This is why people can experience the power of Christ when they call on His name in faith.
In the Jesus Prayer we put ourselves in the presence of Christ.
We recognize that He is always with us as He promised.
When we call on His name in this way, it is a saving name,
with the power to bring us the mercy and love of the Father.
Pray the Jesus Prayer for five minutes every day before an icon of Christ.
