"In the book, the Pilgrim is searching for an answer to St. Paul’s words to pray always. The Jesus Prayer is rooted in the prayer of the tax collector in Luke 18:13 - O God, be merciful to me, a sinner!
The Jesus prayer is prayed today:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
Again, many thoughts occupy our minds constantly throughout the day. Repetition of this ancient prayer can focus us on God, on God’s Son, Jesus. Give it a try because we have nothing to lose except the trivial meandering of our minds."
