The Jesus prayer is very powerful in its simplicity. But it is not a method of meditation or simply a method to discipline the mind. It is much more. It enables us to participate in the life of Christ. It allows us to call Him into our thoughts and feelings continually, to make Him a part of our minds and hearts in a living way. This prayer brings Christ into every aspect of our life. It is with us no matter where we are or what we are doing. It eventually becomes a living part of us and is continually repeated in our heart. Remember, its aim is union with Christ and not some kind of spiritual experience or peaceful state. The Jesus Prayer has three important purposes. The first is worship as with all prayer. The second is a discipline to help our soul gain control our overactive brains and create stillness so the Holy Spirit can work through us and help us live the virtues in union with God. The third is deification.

Preparation of a homilist for preaching the word of God is a complex process which covers his sphere of intellect, feelings and will. This issue is widely discussed by the fathers of the Church. It is not only the preaching of God's truth, but primarily a testimony to their life, since a homilist is a first listener. Personal prayer is indispensable in the preparation of a homily. The etymology of the Greek term όμιλία (homily) means a “communion with God”. A homily addressed to listeners, and its effectiveness, depend on the personal „communion with God” which should become a personal experience of the minister of the word of God. What becomes important is spiritual preparation of a homilist, where a crucial role is played by a careful study of the Scripture as well as personal prayer. Those two elements, rather than rhetorical skills, are the main driving force of the whole preaching. This kind of communion with God should be a continuous life disposition of a homilist, both at the preparation stage and during the preaching of the word of God.

Przygotowanie homilisty do głoszenia słowa Bożego to złożony proces, który obejmuje jego sferę intelektualną, uczuciową i wolitywną. Temu zagadnieniu wiele miejsca poświęcają ojcowie Kościoła. To nie jest tylko głoszenie Bożej prawdy, ale przede wszystkim świadectwo własnego życia, gdyż homilista jest także pierwszym słuchaczem. Modlitwa osobista jest nieodzowna w przygotowaniu homilii. Etymologia greckiego terminu όμιλία (homilia) oznacza „obcowanie z Bogiem”. Homilia skierowana do słuchaczy i jej skuteczność zależy od osobistego „obcowania z Bogiem”, które powinno stać się osobistym doświadczeniem głosiciela słowa Bożego. Ważnym staje się duchowe przygotowanie homilisty, w którym istotną rolę stanowi uważne studium Pisma Świętego oraz osobista modlitwa. Te dwa elementy, a nie talent krasomówczy, stają się główną siłą sprawczą całego przepowiadania. Tego rodzaju „obcowanie z Bogiem” winno stanowić stałą dyspozycję życiową homilisty, zarówno na etapie przygotowania, jak i w czasie głoszenia słowa Bożego.
