The Jesus Prayer Quotes

“Francis also found another blind elder in Katounakia who constantly said the prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me." Sometimes he said it out loud, and other times he said it noetically. Francis went to him for advice and to tell him his thoughts, but the blind elder merely responded: "My child, my child, the prayer! Say the prayer, my child! Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”
― Elder Ephraim
