The Jesus Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner...

Twelve words of great power. I watched a special on THINK TV yesterday focusing on the Jesus Prayer, and the manner that this simple prayer can bring about inner silence. Not just the silence of not speaking, but silence where all the racing thoughts in your head are quieted and you are at real peace.

How many of us go for days-weeks- longer, without ever having a truly quiet moment.

It is Holy week, Holy Thursday and today recalls Christ's celebration of the Last Supper with His disciples, four days after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

I will try to find the silence.
