This class presents a practical and theological teaching on establishing a consistent Eastern Christian prayer life through intentional preparation, a daily prayer rule, and especially the use of the Jesus Prayer.
It explains prayer as essential spiritual warfare and communion with God, emphasizing morning and evening prayers as the framework that orders the day around God. Central to the teaching is the Jesus Prayer, described as a Gospel‑rooted, adaptable prayer for all believers—not only monastics—that can be integrated into every aspect of daily life, including work, family, illness, exhaustion, and intercession for the living and the departed and praying for our enemies. The class outlines how the Jesus Prayer is cultivated—from spoken words to attentive prayer of the mind and heart—and highlights its role in repentance, purification of thoughts, resistance to sin, and gradual transformation into the likeness of Christ.
