Lenten Reflections: The Jesus Prayer Revisited
...I now think that my argument in Before Nature would have been enhanced had I been able to discuss the history of the Jesus Prayer, by way of introduction.

A #CradleCatholic. As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. A deep dive into Protestant fellowships lead to immersion into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world, here I am. The #2024Election US has me wondering about US Christianities that support social actions and movements that contradict the teachings of Jesus. Shouldn't Christ's Gospel teachings be central?

Originally I wrote this as a Lenten reflection, and then I found myself sick with COVID before I could post it. I am well recovered and have posted on my Walking Thoughts blog about my experience with the Trinity Prayer: https://hpaulsantmire.net/praying-all-the-time/
