Praying Without Ceasing: The Jesus Prayer | S1E16

PART FIVE: Prayer: The Essential Practice of the Godward Soul (Ep 14-16) In this episode of St.Aub, we explore the ancient Christian practice known as The Jesus Prayer and the call to “pray without ceasing.” For centuries, believers seeking deeper communion with God have used this simple prayer to cultivate stillness, humility, attentiveness, and continual awareness of God’s presence. Drawing from Scripture, the Philokalia, and the wisdom of Eastern Orthodox spirituality, St.Aub reflects on how prayer can gradually move from something we occasionally do to something we quietly carry within us throughout the day. The Jesus Prayer has endured for generations because of its simplicity, depth, and ability to draw the heart toward God. This episode invites you to slow down and consider what it might mean to live with a more continual awareness of Christ’s presence. In a distracted and fragmented world, repetitive prayer can help gather the mind, quiet the heart, and create space for deeper communion with God. If this reflection resonated with you, consider subscribing and returning as we continue exploring the Godward path together. You’re always welcome here. And if you think of someone who might need this, feel free to share it.
