When we listen to requests from Christians and the reasons why they pray, we see that often the dominant request is for health. Thousands of pieces of paper arrive at the Holy Preparation Table in all our churches, with this declared request. And in our everyday lives as well, when conversation turns to whatever is happening around us, we often end by saying: ‘As long as we have our health, we’ll manage’. It’s a top priority, the request for health. There are also a lot of people who have a confused way of looking at the Church and see it as a sort of extension of magic. They state openly that they go to church so that God will keep ...

The foundation of the Jesus Prayer can be found in the words of the Lord: ‘Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my Name: ask, and ye shall receive… Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you’ (John 16:24, 23). The more man is initiated in prayer the more he realises that the centre of all spiritual battle against the passions and the enemy is his very heart.
