Here is an inspiring prayer for your Holy Week. It’s from my colleague V. Rev. Dr. john McGuckin’s book, “The Book of Mystical Chapters.”

Whether you pray alone,
or in the company of others,
try never to pray simply as a matter of routine,
but always with conscious awareness of what you are doing.
Evagrios of Pontus. Chapters on Prayer. 42.
Philokalia. 1. p. 180.

Please be sure to look for our movie on prayer, “Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer,” on US PBS stations this week, and around easter. Details at JesusPrayerMovie.com
