'JESUS PRAYER' and CHOTKIS
A PRAYER PETITION FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT
Prayer ropes have a written history since about the 6th century but the prayer itself, known as the Jesus Prayer, comes from new testament. They are called Komboskini (Greek) and Chotki (Russian). They come in various counts (25, 33, 50, 100 or 103), some with divider beads. Traditionally, prayer ropes are made of knotted woolen cord. Ours below are 33 with dividers (100 beads by request). Instead of the traditional tassel, we have used a crucifix.

~ JESUS PRAYER ~

JESUS PRAYER - PRAYER OF THE HEART
This prayer has its origins in the new testament and is very familiar to the ears and eyes of those who love scripture. See the prayer petitions of the tax collector's prayer (Luke 18:13) 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner' and (Mark10:47), Baritmaeus, who totally trusted Jesus cried out, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me'. Variations of these prayers have a recorded history of use since the 6th century. It has traditionally been used in its many forms by members of the Orthodox Churches (Eastern, Russian, Greek). In recent years , it has become a more widely used prayer by members of various christian churches, both Protestant and Roman Catholic. We are called to 'pray without ceasing' and this simple prayer is easy to remember. Because of this, it allows one to reach a deeper level of prayer. Traditionally prayed as one inhales (first part of prayer) and exhales (second part of prayer).

PETITION VARIATIONS
1.
Jesus Christ,
Have mercy on me a sinner.
2.
Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,
Have mercy on me a sinner.
3.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.
4.
Lord Jesus Christ,
by the prayers of Our Lady,
have mercy on me.

These traditional prayers are very simple and for centuries, continue to be used
by not only the Eastern Orthodox but by all Christians (Protestant and Roman Catholic).
It is not only used as a petition for ones self
but to interceed for another by inserting their name.

INTERCESSION
Lord Jesus Christ
have mercy on _______ (name).

The most important quality in a person concerned with religion is absolute devotion to truth
Albert Schweitzer
