The prayer has been widely taught and discussed throughout the history of the Eastern Churches. It is often repeated continually as a part of personal ascetic practice, its use being an integral part of the eremitic tradition of prayer known as Hesychasm (Greek: ἡσυχάζω, hesychazo, "to keep stillness"). The prayer is particularly esteemed by the spiritual fathers of this tradition (see Philokalia) as a method of opening up the heart (kardia) and bringing about the Prayer of the Heart (Καρδιακή Προσευχή). The Prayer of The Heart is considered to be the Unceasing Prayer that the apostle Paul advocates in the New Testament. While its tradition, on historical grounds, also belongs to the Eastern Catholics, and there have been a number of Roman Catholic texts on the Jesus Prayer, its practice has never achieved the same popularity in the Western Church as in the Eastern Orthodox Church, although it is said on the Anglican Rosary. Moreover, the Eastern Orthodox theology of the Jesus Prayer enunciated in the fourteenth century by St. Gregory Palamas has never been fully accepted by the Roman Catholic Church. Nonetheless, in the Jesus Prayer there can be seen the Eastern counterpart of the Roman Catholic Rosary, which has developed to hold a similar place in the Christian West. From Wikipedia under the

Do you say since you prayed that prayer one time in your life you are saved now? Is salvation really in a profession of faith or in Jesus? Is salvation really like a flu shot? When a person is saved do they not have more then a profession that they are Christians to go on? Does not the very person who they are change? Does not the Holy Spirit bear witness with them? Lord Lord? I Never Knew You - Paul Washer Asked by Witness4JC - Fri May 8 18:56:49 2009 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is how salvation works: All of us have sinned against God and deserve judgment. But Jesus never sinned (1 Pet. 2:22). He lived the Law of God perfectly. In this He has a perfectly righteous standing before God. When the corrupt Jewish leaders forced Rome's hand into crucifying Jesus, God used this crucifixion as the means to place the sins of the world upon Jesus (1 Pet. 2:24; 1 John 2:2). This is when Jesus became sin on our behalf. 2 Cor. 5:21 says, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." The crucifixion became the place where Jesus bore our sins in His body and suffered in our place. "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for… [cont.] Answered by Lightning From the East - Fri May 8 21:25:18 2009 clips similar to baby jesus prayer?

Answered by HEAVENly EYES - Sat Nov 22 20:03:27 2008 did Jesus wear a prayer shawl? where can I find it in the bible?
Q. there are fringes on the shawl what do they represent? Asked by danawhitepayne - Tue Feb 24 00:14:04 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The first answer is not correct - as a member of the house of David (a house of the tribe of Judah), Jesus was not of the priestly class (all of whom were of the tribe of Levi). Now, I can't say that this excludes Jesus from wearing a prayer shawl with fringes - I don't believe that such were restricted to the Levitical priesthood. However, there is no mention of Jesus wearing such in Scripture. He was most definitely not a priest according to the regulations of Mosaic Law.
