Author: Archbishop Antoniy

In On the Prayer of Jesus and Divine Grace, Archbishop Antoniy offers an exploration of one of the most cherished spiritual practices of Orthodox Christianity: the Jesus Prayer. Rooted in the ancient tradition of hesychasm, the prayer—"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"—serves as both a path to inner stillness and a means to draw closer to the grace of God.

Archbishop Antoniy presents practical guidance on incorporating the prayer into daily life, emphasizing its transformative power to purify the heart and illuminate the mind. Through his accessible yet deeply theological reflections, readers will find encouragement to enter more fully into the life of prayer and experience the peace that surpasses understanding.

This book is not merely a manual for prayer but a spiritual companion that addresses the challenges and blessings of seeking divine grace in a world filled with distractions. Archbishop Antoniy integrates patristic wisdom with pastoral sensitivity, guiding readers through the spiritual struggle with humility and hope. Ideal for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, On the Prayer of Jesus and Divine Grace invites all who long for communion with God to step onto a sacred path of faith, repentance, and unceasing prayer.
