To learn who and what Jesus is, is to learn also how one must act. And to learn how one must act, is to learn how one must think The early fathers (St. Barsanuphius and John the Prophet) recommend abandonment of one's own will, spiritual direction, examination of conscience and invocation of the name of Jesus.
"For us, the weak, the only way is to take refuge in the name of Jesus"
John the Prophet
We should use this prayer (Jesus Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner) as an accessory to our spiritual life.
