712 (PRAYER/ SPIRITUAL STRUGGLE) Are you wondering why you remain still?
Please tell me: Do you recite the Jesus Prayer?
No, you do not…
How then do you expect to make progress?
Do you think that you by yourself alone will be able to do that?
No, my brother!
Recite the Prayer and you will see the difference and the change on yourself!

(SERVICES/ PRAYERS/ MIND-NOUS) If during the Prayer your mind runs and flies to other things…this is not a prayer!
Both during the private prayer and during the Services of the Church, the mind should be focused to the words of your prayer…
Strive for this! Set it to your core goals…
You yourself will be the first winner!

(WORK/ PRAYER/ SPIRITUALITY) We have already said this before; when we work, we should keep ourselves in God’s atmosphere…
We should remain and move in a spiritual atmosphere…
This will help you in many ways and in all ways…
Your work will flow beautifully and successfully! Even in difficulties, you will fare better against adversities…
Finally, “dress” your work in a mystic, noetic, internal prayer…the Jesus Prayer!
You will see how things will then be different for you!
