We bring to the attention of the reader a new book by Elder Paisius Svyatogorets “Words. Volume 6. On Prayer. Prayer is the life of the human soul, its air and food. Prayer is a gift of God to man, an opportunity given to us by our Creator to turn to Him at any time and in any need, knowing without a doubt that we will be heard by Him. The prerequisites for pure prayer are love, a gentle heart, a collected mind, sincerity, and consistency. Through prayer, a person partakes of Divine grace, is enlightened by the Light. Prayer is an art that requires labor, forcing oneself, patience, perseverance. Elder Paisius mastered this art to perfection. In this book, in excerpts from conversations with monks and laity that have been preserved, grains of the Elder's invaluable spiritual experience are collected.
