The Jesus Prayer

I recently "happened to" come across a reflection on the Jesus Prayer by Brother Luke Clinton, O.S.B., of Mount Michael Benedictine Abbey in Elkhorn, Nebraska. Brother Luke's reflection is entitled :The Simplicity of The Jesus Prayer Belies its Depth," and it may be found by visiting his blog via this link:

     Bro. Luke: The Simplicity of the Jesus Prayer

I first became acquianted with the Jesus Prayer many years ago, and, although I pray and/or mediatate on it periodically, I especially offer it up when I am in line to receive our Lord in Holy Communion.
