“God has given ways of connecting with His love that come more naturally than other ways. Work with those. Some folks love to read, but aren’t as willing to stand before icons to offer long, formal prayers. So, read a lot, but pray before your icons a little, because that prayer is important. Others people might resonate with the Jesus Prayer, but aren’t really readers.  So practice the Jesus Prayer a lot, but read in the tradition a little, because that reading is important.”

(Fr John Oliver in ‘The Word’)
