Orthodox
Jesus Prayer
The prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
About this prayer
The Jesus Prayer is the heart of Eastern Orthodox spirituality — one sentence, prayed in rhythm with the breath, often counted knot by knot on a chotki (prayer rope). Monks on Mount Athos have prayed it unceasingly for over a thousand years.
The Greek original
Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐλέησόν με τὸν ἁμαρτωλόν.
Pray it, don't just read it
