“Don’t go backwards in the spiritual life! If you decide to start the Jesus Prayer, you have to choose some time out of the twenty-four hours. It’s acrobatics—get up at night to pray; if that doesn’t work out—at dawn, or in the evening, or in the afternoon—only, it has to be done with the nuances that St. Joseph taught us—sitting in the dark, and so on. It’s very important. Of course, you need a mentor and guidance for this, but such guides exist, thank God. And don’t step back, don’t toss it aside. It’s better to do a little every day than to do a lot just once a week. Consistency is very important. ”

(Archpriest  Theodore Gignadze on the teachngs of St. Joseph the Hesychast)
