LORD, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master... Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love... For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life...
I've heard the Jesus prayer, "Holy Theotokos save me," & "St. ___/Holy guardian angel pray to God for me" are prayers we can say while we're doing other tasks.
@@otelders Other thoughts have a way of coming into our heads when we're standing @ prayer too: that thing we were trying to remember but couldn't, the thought we'll forget it again after we pray, all the things we need to do, etc. Crazy.
You are right, prayer and manual labor is perfectly manageable. He refers to the mind, when the mind is distracted by profane thoughts during prayer. Multitasking is not recommended in that case. :)

Hi I just would like to let you know that someone, who’s got the name, orthodox teacher of the elders and almost same picture like yours, has been sending messages to me and other viewers. It looks like a spam. The message is about he has been sensing demonic attacks in my dreams when he’s looking at my profile and he wants me to WhatsApp with the orphanage in Africa for prayers and also let him know so he can join the prayers. I think the person is trying to pretend to be you and cheat on people.
Da, când stai la rugăciune mintea trebuie să fie doar la rugăciune. Dar tu te poți ruga și când mănânci sau faci altă activitate și atunci mintea se împarte și la acea lucrare a ta.

Thanks, I really needed this admonition.
Thank you!
Very good Father!
🕯️📿🕊️ Saint Cyprian of Carthage,
Help us to be whole and united in prayer.
Most Holy Theotokos save us! ☦️ 🌐 ❤️
Jesus, mercy.....
I do this :( as soon as i think about praying, saying my Rosary etc,a million distractions enter my mind.
Thank you for this!
Thank you Father.
Sanctus Cyprianus, my ancient compatriot, pray for the tunisians, so that they can find the light of Christ our Lord and God.
Amen

@@otelders Yup, I got that. Thank you. Was the title, that's all.

@@russellhoward3866 Yes, probably not the best title...
I am learning that the Jesus prayer is powerful & cannot be used carelessly. The evil one interrupts even the Jesus prayer recited carelessly.
The monks on Mount Athos do pray and do tasks at the same time, in fact they don't sieze to pray.

Da, in cazul acesta se refera la mintea care se gandeste la alte lucruri in timpul rugaciunii...
