In this seminar, Frederica Mathewes-Green presents insights into the ancient desert prayer that tunes the heart to God. The Jesus Prayer “has historically been passed on face-to-face, from one Christ-loving person to the next, down the generations ever since the desert saints. . . As you form the habit of saying this prayer in the back of your mind all the time, it soaks into you, like dye into cotton, and colors the way you encounter every person and circumstance you meet.”

Frederica Mathewes-Green is a wide-ranging author of eight books, including The Illumined Heart, The Open Door, and Mary as Early Christians Knew Her. She is the Khouria (spiritual mother) of Holy Cross Orthodox Church near Baltimore.

NOTE: This presentation will be videotaped before a live audience for future viewing on YouTube through collaboration with Notre Dame College of Ohio.
