A Prayer of Saint Isaac of Nineveh
Do you wish to commune with God in your mind? Strive to be
merciful... One should first of all begin to be merciful in the
measure that our heavenly Father is merciful.
The purpose of prayer is for us to acquire love for God, for in
prayer can be discovered all sorts of reasons for loving God.
Love of God proceeds from conversing with Him; this conversation of
prayer comes about through stillness, and stillness comes with the
stripping away of the self.
Faith in Christ is living, noetic Light.
A monk who with the eyes of his intellect gazes intently into his
heart while praying will quickly be deemed worthy of mercy.
The Light of Jesus is noetic Light, and blessed is the soul which is
accounted worthy to see it!
