What is the will of God that St. Paul urges and invites each of us to attain (cf. I Thes. 4:3)? It is total cleansing from sin, freedom from the shameful passions and the acquisition of the highest virtue. In other words, it is the purification and sanctification of the heart that comes about through fully experienced and conscious participation in the perfect and divine Spirit.
St. Makarios of Egypt

Prayer ropes are used to help Eastern Orthodox Christians say the Jesus Prayer. \"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.\" In Russian, they are called \"chotki\", while in Greek they are called \"komboskini\".

This prayer rope is handtied by me in a semi spaced way by black silky rattail cord, counting 100 Knots divided every 10 knots by 2 black pony beads.

I consider that it\'s very important not to step aside from the traditional method of prayer rope tying, as well as keeping their look and feel as close as possible to the old, Orthodox monastic models. I tie these prayer ropes, in the same manner, our desert fathers used to tIe them.

- For custom prayer ropes please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to create it especially for you, with a count of knots, beads, and colors you desire and for size as well.

Thank you for looking, good luck, and may God bless!

MORE ABOUT \"The Jesus Prayer\", also called the Prayer of the Heart, the Prayer of a Single Thought, or simply The Prayer, is a short, simple prayer that has been widely used, taught and discussed throughout the history of Eastern Christianity. The exact words of the prayer have varied, from a simple form such as \"Lord, have mercy\" to an extended form: \"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.\"

The form most in use on Mount Athos is \"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.\" It is particularly used in the practice of the spiritual life known as hesychasm.

It is, for the Orthodox, one of the most profound and mystical prayers and is often repeated endlessly as part of a personal ascetic practice. The prayer is most reflective of the lesson taught by the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee; in which the Pharisee demonstrates the improper way to pray by exclaiming, \"Thank you Lord that I am not like the Publican.\" While the Publican in humility prays correctly \"Lord have mercy on me, the sinner\" (Luke 18:10-14). And likewise in the Gospels, Peter crying out as he sank into the sea, \"Lord, save me.\" In the Orthodox tradition, the prayer is said or prayed repeatedly, often with the aid of a prayer rope. It may be accompanied by prostrations and the sign of the cross. As such, it is used as a means of finding contrition and as a means of bringing about humility in the individual; hence the words \"the sinner\" are sometimes added as if no other sinner existed but the person praying (though there is no indefinite article in Greek, thus leading to some controversy about whether the translation in English should be \"the sinner\" or \"a sinner\"). Monastics often have long sessions praying this prayer many hundreds of times each night as part of their discipline, and through the guidance of an elder, its practitioner\'s ultimate goal is to \"internalize\" the prayer, so that one is praying unceasingly there-by accomplishing Saint Paul\'s exhortation to the Thessalonians to \"pray without ceasing\" (I Thessalonians 5:1
