Kallistos Ware - The Jesus Prayer

Kallistos Ware - The Jesus Prayer

Metropolitan Kallistos Ware is considered by many to be the leading theologian today in the Orthodox Church. He is perhaps best known as the author of the book The Orthodox Church, and more recently the companion volume, The Orthodox Way.
Metropolitan Kallistos is also known as one of the great advocates of the Jesus Prayer, a prayer that countless Christians through the centuries have considered to be central to their spiritual growth. It was a prayer Rowan Williams referred to in our 2017 interview with him as being foundational to his prayer life. So we thought it was about time we learnt more.

Jesus prayer: Our Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me ,I am a sinner 🙏🌼💗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is not mercy is Eleison, with a correlation to healing, pouring oil. And is not sinner is hamartolon, meaning the human state of constant missing the mark. There is no I, the "me" has to be crucified, then we find life. All linguistic is "me", and to stretch towards God ektenos is an absence of linguistic.
