✦ Synopsis

The Jesus Prayer is based on the power of the name of the Lord. In this exceptional translation of Bishop Branchaninov's essay on the Jesus Prayer, we are introduced to a spiritual exercise known as Hesychasm. Hesychasm gives expression to the method of enlightenment that has been in use in Christian monasteries in the East almost from Apostolic times. Brianchaninov not only explains how the prayer works and how to prepare for the practice, but puts forth several teachings from Greek and Russian mystics on the Jesus Prayer. He also discusses the pitfalls that can be encountered along the way and how to avoid them, as well as "material aids," such as the rosary and posture, for the practice.
