The publication is intended as a continuation of the book “On the Jesus Prayer: Teachings of St. Theophan the Recluse" (M., "Danilovsky Blagovestnik", 2001). "Doing the Jesus Prayer is not unceasing prayer, but only an aid to it," wrote Saint Theophan. “What are they looking for through the Jesus Prayer? So that the fire of grace sank into the heart and unceasing prayer began, which determines the state of grace.” The thoughts and instructions of St. Theophan on unceasing prayer, extracted from his works and letters, form the content of our book. What is unceasing prayer? What are the degrees of ascent to it and the conditions for achieving it? What is connecting the mind with the heart? How can we reconcile the “feeling that never departs from God” and our daily activities? What should be a prayer rule focused on unceasing prayer? What dangers await a person on the path of acquiring unceasing prayer? — In this book, the reader will find answers to these and other important questions of spiritual life.
