Pray with a Russian Pilgrim

The Way of the Pilgrim is an account of an anonymous 19th century pilgrim who wanders all over Russia while praying the Jesus Prayer. He progresses from praying those words hundreds of times a day to thousands of times, until the words were woven into his heart.

Prayer changes things while worrying produces no positive results. So, rather than worrying about the needs in your loved ones’ lives or fretting about a situation you can’t do anything about, write a prayer note and stuff it into your prayer box.
