The Jesus Prayer: Praying the Prayer of the Heart
At the heart of Eastern Orthodox spirituality is the prayer of the heart, or the invocation of the Holy name of Jesus; commonly referred to as the Jesus Prayer. The Jesus Prayer was popularised through the book The Way of the Pilgrim.
This workshop uses The Way of the Pilgrim as the basis of exploring the prayer of the heart; and how this is understood in its Orthodox context. There will be opportunity to make a simple prayer rope for use with praying the prayer of the heart. There will also be time for quiet contemplation in Godâs presence as we enter into the practice of this ancient spiritual prayer.
Note: Materials are provided to make one prayer rope, this is a simple prayer rope and is not the same as those used in the Orthodox Church.
