On Prayer – Saint Paisios the Athonite | Spiritual Counsels VI

Learn to make prayer a living and constant conversation with God through the spiritual counsels of Saint Paisios the Athonite.

On Prayer is Volume VI of the Spiritual Counsels of Saint Paisios the Athonite, devoted specifically to one of the foundations of Orthodox Christian life: prayer.

Throughout his monastic life, Saint Paisios regarded prayer as his primary work. His counsels encourage Christians not simply to understand prayer intellectually, but to entrust their lives to God through sincere, humble, and persistent prayer.

Drawing from Saint Paisios' guidance to both monastics and laypeople, this volume explores how prayer can become part of everyday life—whether one is at church, at home, working, traveling, or facing difficulties.

Saint Paisios speaks about turning naturally toward Christ, the Panagia, the Angels, and the Saints, cultivating inner prayer, seeking God's help, and practicing the Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”

A powerful addition to any Orthodox Christian library and an especially valuable book for those seeking to deepen their personal prayer life.
