"We have been left the divine gift of hesychasm as an inheritance from the Holy Fathers, which we must keep lit in our own candles as a spark from which many others may light theirs." —Cf. Elder Arsenios Praja "Prayer and silence will save the world." —Robert Cardinal Sarah The cooling of faith is a reality. Many have become so progressive that they no longer see a need for God. Practicing Christians feel increasingly like outsiders. Christ himself warned of the two ways and that few will find the narrow gate (Matt. 7:14) leading to eternal life. There is no middle way or compromise with the spirit of the age. A primer on the Jesus Prayer, we focus on the most ancient, most used, and simplest form of contemplative prayer in the Church, a proven technique for turning hearts to God. A living relationship with the living Jesus is truly life changing. As a Church, it is time to return to basics, the Art of Spiritual Life, of which the Jesus Prayer is a core component. Prayer coupled with the sacramental life of the Church creates a complete spirituality, a source of healing in our lives and in a broken world. "A spiritual treasure for today's world—rooted in tradition, rich in grace, practical, and profoundly needed. Rediscover the grace-filled movements of God."
