Jesus Prayer Quotes

“Sometimes, late at night, the words are only whispers– Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. The quiet is kindness and gratitude and calm–Have mercy on me, a sinner. And I fall asleep like that, the words of the Jesus Prayer melting from English to Greek– Kyrie Iesou Christe. Floating around me– Yie tou Theou. Swimming apart from me– Eleison me.”

“Battles are Won in the Prayer Room”
― Joe Joe Dawson

“Lord, have mercy on me, a winner.”
― Criss Jami

“The physical heart is the symbol of these "unfathomable depths." We need to throw our "intellectual" thoughts into the furnace of the spiritual heart where they can be heated up and burst into flame; then the burning cry will spring forth and rise toward Jesus the God-Man. This is in fact the meaning of the search for the "place of the heart.”
