The Jesus Prayer—"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"—is a brief yet profound prayer, which the Holy Fathers called "the breath of the soul" and "food for the mind." In this book, Roman Golovanov, a renowned television host on the Spas channel, engages the reader in a confidential conversation about this ancient practice, accessible not only to monks but to every Christian living in the world.
The book consists of eleven conversations—and what a group of interlocutors the author has assembled! Among them are renowned preachers and theologians, archpastors, and ordinary priests, each sharing their lived experience of prayer. Metropolitan Artemy (Vladimirov) and Professor Alexei Ilyich Osipov, Archimandrite Melchizedek (Artyukhin) and Archpriest Sergiy Baranov, Bishop Methodius (Zinkovsky) and Bishop Joseph (Korolev), Archbishop Gerasim (Shevtsov) and Priest Valery Soskovets, Bishop Kirill (Zinkovsky) and Hegumen Savva (Mazhuko). Each of them speaks of prayer in his own way, but they all testify to one thing: the Jesus Prayer is not a mechanical repetition of words, but a path to living communion with Christ, capable of transforming the heart and filling life with that very "hunger for Christ" which, in the words of the Savior, is blessedness.
This book is addressed to all who seek deep, meaningful prayer and want to learn to stand before God not only with their minds, but with their whole being.
