I have often read the Jesus Prayer in prayer books and heard it in church, but my attention was drawn to it first some years ago in Rumania. There in a small Monastery of Smbata, tucked away at the foot of the Carpathians in the heart of the deep forest, its little white church reflected in a crystal clear mountain pond, I met a monk who practiced the "prayer of the heart". Profound peace and silence reigned at Smbata in those days; it was a place of rest and strength --I pray god it still is.
