Jesus Prayer

Short formulaic prayer in Christianity

The Jesus Prayer, also known as The Prayer, is a short formulaic prayer. It is most common in Eastern Christianity. There are multiple versions of this prayer, however the most widely used version is as follows:

  • The oral prayer (the prayer of the lips) is a simple recitation, still external to the practitioner.
  • The focused prayer, when "the mind is focused upon the words" of the prayer, "speaking them as if they were our own".
  • The prayer of the heart itself, when the prayer is no longer something we do but who we are.
  • The prayer of the lips.
