Unceasing Prayer

"Through the continuous invocation of the name of God by the unceasing prayer, 'Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me,' a person acquires a sense of another life, of the age to come, and of the hope that the righteous possess. He foretastes the magnificence of that life and exclaims in awe: 'Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom of the unfathomable God.' For He has prepared another world, so wondrous, to bring rational beings into it and preserve them there in eternal life." + Elder Ephraim of Philotheou
