THE JESUS PRAYER

“LORD JESUS CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER”

THE INVOCATIION OF THE NAME OF JESUS is a prayer of the utmost simplicity. It is a way of praying that anyone can adopt; no special knowledge is required, and no elaborate preparation. As a recent writer put it, all we must do is ‘simply begin’: Before beginning to pronounce the Name of Jesus, establish peace and recollection within yourself and ask for the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Ghost…. Then simply begin.  In order to walk one must take the first step; in order to swim one must throw oneself into the water.  It is the same with the invocation of the Name. Begin to pronounce it with adoration and love. Cling to it.  Repeat it.  Do not think that you are invoking the Name; think only of Jesus Himself. Say His Name slowly, softly and quietly, believing He hears you.

Spiritual Memoir

Thoughts
For Today Continued

as this word so profoundly puts it, an ascension of life rising from the depths of a life created in the divine image. And finally, a Jesus to be offered to the Father.

THE ENTIRE, PATHETIC WORLD longs for peace but few understand what peace really means.  Conse-crated souls, come and learn from my Heart what it means.
   I want so much for this peace, this seal of the Divine, to reign in you and radiate from you.
   The soul’s inner peace is a presence responding to an absence.  Understand this well: my loving, rich, gratifying Presence responding to this absence of you in yourself, of your egoism. An absence both yielding and attracting, yielding you to Me and attracting Me in you.
   Withdrawal making room for advances, for the more a soul with-draws from itself, the more that soul attracts Me.
   What happier, peace-making trade-off could there be!
   If the human, that which is created, is always troubling more or less, the Divine, the Eternal, always brings peace.
   Don’t the most fundamental aspirations of the soul created by a God of Love have some connection to a God of Love?
   Only a soul forgetful of itself to the point of being absent from itself truly and effectively understands genuine humility of heart, putting the soul in its proper place which is to let Me takes its place. Humility therefore is the primary source of peace.
