On the prayer of Jesus

This article offers a practical reflection on the Jesus Prayer, considered not from its usual mystical angle, but in its everyday and accessible dimension. The author adopts a meditative and testimonial approach, seeking to show how this prayer can be concretely integrated into ordinary life situations: waiting, conflicts, inner distraction, loneliness. The central idea is that the repetition of the name of Jesus is not a suggestive technique comparable to autosuggestion, but an act of openness to a real and active divine presence. The theological contribution of the article lies in the distinction between prayer and autosuggestion, and in the highlighting of the anthropological flexibility of the Jesus Prayer, capable of adapting to each spiritual temperament, while requiring progressive learning and disciplined practice.
