The Mantra
The mantra is a way of prayer that uses a simple, repetitive phrase in order to become more fully aware of God’s presence and our need for grace. Its beauty is that it is easily memorized and can be prayed as we go about our day.
Some examples:
- Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. (The Jesus Prayer)
- My God, I love you!
- Jesus!
- Holy Spirit, come to me.
- The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
