  • Fr. Aimilianos of Simonopetra (+2019) talks about the power of Jesus Prayer in Orthodox spiritual life. He also gives us clear instructions about our daily divine reading.
    Subtitles: English, Romanian
    Audio source: "Οι οπλίτες της Ειρήνης", Cyprus, 26/10/1988

    Fr. Aimilianos:
    One hundred thousand words of read prayer do not replace the few words of prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me!"
    Look, five little words!
    We should read one of the Fathers of the Church! Ten minutes are enough, but even five minutes if you want! And read another five or ten minutes from the Holy Scriptures!
    From the Old Testament first... Because the Old Testament is the foundation... It is the support, the foundation of the Church and of our lives. And our peace! If we don't know the Old Testament, we will never understand God. Because God revealed Himself there. And then He revealed to us saying: "I am what I say there, in the Old Testament." "And here I write about that." If we do not identify these places, we will not be able to understand them.
    ...
    Let us read a little bit and learn to say the Prayer. One hundred thousand words of read prayer do not replace the few words of prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me!" Look, five little words!
    This is doxology, thanksgiving, supplication, confession, theology, witness. This prayer encompasses everything.
    God understands even if we do not understand it.
    I can say unceasingly: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me" and I may not understand anything, but God understands.
    God understands...
    And the important part is that He understands!
    So we should say the prayer!
    It's a very easy thing, my beloved! If we take care of it, you will see, in a month, no doubt, that, as I told you, your heart will rejoice! There is no man who asked something from God and didn't receive. Otherwise, He wouldn't be God!
    So when we say to him: "Give me, Lord, the prayer!" "Put it in my heart!" Will He not do it?
    ...
    Whatever you want to acquire through these words, from heaven and from earth, you will see, it will be so for you.
    Whether it be a hidden thing or a visible one, you will receive it, God will give it to you!

      Jesus is God
      and there is no mercy for the unrepented sinners, just simply making a comment on social media won't get you're prayers answered

      God Jesus Christ doesn't grant and doesn't answer the prayers of wicked foolish sinners
      you catholics are idol worshippers fools and ya'll break the first and second commandments of God on a daily basis
      you catholics are hellbound fools not saved saints
      you foolish catholics even sin against God just simply by calling that preist of yours a father
      Jesus said call no one on earth father for you have a Father He who is in heaven. obviously meaning God Himself when Jesus said He who is in heaven
      and a human being can't forgive your sins you dumb fools only God can forgive your sins that should be obvious and common sense even
      your sins isn't forgiven of if you didn't go directly to God Jesus Christ and repent to God Himself not a statue not a graven image not a so called saints and not a human being who calls themselves a preist or pastor
      or rabi or scholar or bishop or elder or deacon none of them are to be gone to for anything they are all false prophets and false teachers and they are all a bunch of pharisees and or hirelings
      go pray to the actual living God Himself not those stupid idol objects you catholics love so much
      2 thessalonians 8-10. titus 1:16. hebrews 10:26-27. james 2:15-25. hebrews 4:12. revelations 21:8. 1 corinthians 6:9-11. john 10:25-30. john 5:38-44. james 2:15-25

      He's not comparing the two as if read prayer is useless... Our SERVICES are read prayers and have incalculable value! He says this to show the further infinite value of the Jesus Prayer and reading scriptures. It's not a dialectic but an attempt to show great value by holding up what is already known to have great value. God bless.

      Jesus Christ Himself is the Rock and thee foundation not a church building and not a bible
      the church Jesus Christ built/made it isn't a psychical church building in this earthly world you foolish human
      and the foundation we should be building our selfs and our everything upon is Jesus Christ Himself not a church building in this earthly world
      and Jesus said to call no one on earth father for you have a Father He who is in heaven read that bible verse you fool
      you dumb catholics sin against God just simply by calling that preist of yours a father
      2 thessalonians 8-10. titus 1:16. hebrews 10:26-27. james 2:15-25. hebrews 4:12. revelations 21:8. 1 corinthians 6:9-11. john 10:25-30. john 5:38-44. james 2:15-25
      obey Jesus and obey Jesus's gospel and actually get to know God or perish in hell if you don't. i hope you catholics go to hell not heaven
      you foolish people who are catholics break the first and second commandments of God on a daily basis and you catholics are idol worshipers and you catholics sin against God and y'all make a mockery out of things and ya'll even mock God Himself with your stupid confessions ya'll do in the church building and by calling the preist a father you do sin against God
      Jesus Christ Himself said to NOT call anyone on earth a father for you have a Father He who is in heaven. obviously Jesus is referring to God Himself when He said He who is in heaven after all
      you dumb catholics had better pray for truth and help from Jesus or only yourselves to blame when you fools perish in hell
      and be wise when you pray, pray to the real actual living God Himself in spirit and in truth not to a stupid statue not to a graven image and not to a so called saint like the pagan pharisees and hirelings fools do
      and the scriptures isn't holy. God Jesus Christ Himself is Holy

    this is not what I have heard from many Orthodox priests and fathers. They say that the Church made the Bible and the Church and its tradition have authorithy above the Bible. But this wise man knows the truth, the Old Testament is the foundation of the Church. You can find this teaching in Romans 16:25-27, and many other places. The Church needs to go back to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, nevertheless it does not want because it will have to leave behind many traditions that are not based on the Scriptures.

      Church gave the Bible as a collection of books - that's the undeniable truth. And old testament is the foundation of the new testament Church, this is very true. Who then prepared and conveyed the old testament books? Old testament church! Very simple.
