“…the Prayer cultivates and opens horizons within the realm of our mind, rendering our spiritual heart a temple of God, but also because it provides us with the reason to become wiser, in accordance with the quote “give a wise man a reason, and he will become wiser” (Prov.9:9). Progress, therefore, in wisdom and in communication with God is attained through the Prayer.”
(Archimandrite Arsenios Katerelos on the Jesus Prayer)
