This prayer for healing inspired by the Jesus prayer shows how ancient prayers of the church can be adapted to the rhythm of the Anglican Rosary. The Jesus prayer is an ancient prayer recited since the time of the early church mothers and fathers. It is still a very strong part of orthodox christian spirituality. This adaption of Jesus prayer for healing was inspired by the work of Br Ramon ssf and Bishop Simon Barrington-Ward. Praying the Jesus Prayer Together, 2001, p.116-117 (Omnia: Glasgow).
