St. Augustine (354AD-430AD) was the son of St. Monica.
He spent many years living an immoral life, and renouncing Christianity. By the prayers of his mother and through the influence of St. Ambrose, he converted and became a theologian, philosopher, and the Bishop of Hippo, Roman North Africa.
St Augustine, Teach Us to Pray
Desert Fathers, Teach Us to Pray!
The Tradition of reciting The Jesus Prayer is referenced as early as 270 AD, in monastic communities, and was first introduced and practiced by the Desert Fathers.
The Jesus Prayer:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me”
This simple prayer combines adoration of the Glory of God with humble recognition of our sin.
