Jesus Prayer. Reading rules
It must come from the heart, but before reading it, a person must realize his sins. If he does not do this, then the Lord will not accept this prayer. It will be of no use if a non-believer decides to read the prayer just like that, just in case. The text of the prayer is as follows:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son and Word of God, prayers for the sake of Your most pure Mother, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Shorter options:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy.
The Jesus Prayer is considered to be the first step on the difficult path of learning and accepting faith. Constantly reading it becomes a talisman for a person. For this to happen, you need to learn to pray correctly.
To do this, you need to choose a quiet and calm place where no one can distract you, concentrate, and try to turn off sinful thoughts. In this state, slowly repeat several times.

Prayer text
The prayer “Lord, have mercy,” the text of which has several variations, is one of the most frequently used by Orthodox Christians. Often a short version or Russian translation is used. And the official Church Slavonic text looks like this:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee. Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).
Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us: Lord, cleanse our sins: Master, forgive our iniquities: Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name’s sake.
Lord, have mercy (three times).
Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors: and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen
How many times should you repeat the Jesus Prayer
To strengthen the repentant mood of the prayer, it is necessary to say it 3, 12, 40 times. In the Bible, these numbers have a symbol of completeness. Metropolitan Veniamin (Fedchenkov) says that the main thing is not just to say the prayer the required number of times, but to do it with soul. This is not just a short prayer. This is a short confession to God. People fall into sin all the time, so repeating it many times is very important. It is best to say it in the morning and evening; it is at this time that the conversation with God will be more effective.
Is it possible to say the Jesus Prayer to ordinary people?
Some believe that it should not be uttered by ordinary people, this is the lot of monks. This is fundamentally wrong. The Orthodox Church rejects this position. The Apostle Paul's statements about prayer were addressed not only to monks, but also to ordinary people who believe in the Lord. When we pray constantly, our soul opens to the words of prayer, and therefore to God.

The words of the Jesus Prayer are easy to remember, so it is necessary in life at a time when a person most needs the help of the Lord. With the words “Lord, have mercy,” we turn directly to the one who can grant mercy.
Often this prayer is associated with some non-existent prohibitions of the church, giving it occult properties. They say that it helps in one way and does not work in another. Prayer against the evil eye and damage does not help. The Church strictly prohibits Christians from performing any rituals, since Orthodox Christians are under the wing of God, without whose knowledge not a single hair will fall from their heads.
It is imperative to turn to Christ with repentance and a request for mercy for a sinner, therefore the prayer is for all Christians, whether clergy or laity. The Optina elders also spoke about this. When we turn to Christ as the true God in prayer, we first of all talk about our faith. This is the essence of Christianity.
Value
Anyone who sincerely calls out the words “God” for help will actually see positive changes in their lives. Every day a person receives mercy for which it is worth giving thanks. The prayer “Lord have mercy” will help to do this.
It is worth remembering the strength of appeals in the morning and evening. It is important to visit a temple or church, confess and receive communion regularly. Even a short version of sacred words has weight.
There are hundreds of examples of miraculous recovery and positive impact on the mental and physical well-being of those praying.

Other names for the Jesus Prayer

Hesychasm presupposes complete silence, not only physical, but also spiritual, in which liberation from the sinful power of the mind occurs, which is practically impossible in everyday life. Therefore, you should not immediately go to extremes. For this, there are stages of perfection, by ascending which a person can achieve complete cleansing from sins - the highest grace.
Stages of perfection
There are 4 stages of perfection of the Jesus Prayer, which the Monk Barsanuphius (Plikhankov) spoke about; every Christian should ascend them:
- Oral. It is enough to concentrate and strain your mind to perform prayer.
- Smart-hearted doing. Constant continuous prayer.
- Creative prayer. Available only to people who have passed the spiritual path.
- High prayer. Only angels and a few people achieve it.
In order to ascend them, it is necessary that the person praying should have no earthly things in him except his body, and that his soul should live a heavenly life.

- Church hymn
- Lord have mercy, Lord forgive...
Lord, have mercy, Lord, forgive, Help me, God, to carry my cross. You walked your thorny path with love, You carried the cross silently, straining your chest.
And crucified for us, You suffered a lot. You prayed for your friends and grieved for your enemies. I am weak in soul, weak in body, and I am a criminal slave of sinful passions.
I am a great sinner on this earthly path, I grumble, I cry, Lord forgive me, Help me, God, give me strength of strength, So that I extinguish my passions in my heart.
God help me with your generous hand, bestow patience, joy and peace. I am a great sinner on this earthly path, Lord have mercy, Lord forgive.
