"...overwhelmingly the most common prayer in Orthodox piety is the Jesus Prayer:

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." (or the common briefer version: "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.")


That's an absolutely beautiful prayer, Agrarian. Do you know this one?

"Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins and protect us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls into heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy."

No, I had never heard that prayer before. Thanks for sharing it.
