THE PRAYER‘s DIAMOND

***

Motto:

“… the prayer’s diamond is your heart, your whole heart into Jesus Christ, yesterday, today, tomorrow – the same…”

“… diamantul rugaciunii este inima ta, toata intru Iisus Christos, ieri, astazi, miine – acelasi…”

(Theophil Magus)

THE PRAYER’S DIAMOND

You can pray to the Holy Trinity in her wholeness – unity in union.

You can pray only to God the Father;

or, only to His Son, Lord Jesus Christ;

or, only to Holy ghost, the Caresser, as Jesus Christ named Him. (John 15/26; 16/7; 13)

But I believe you can gain the prayer’s diamond addressing to:

Lord Jesus Christ, into the Father and Holy Ghost.

Or, simply, praying to Him:

Jesus Christ.

On the Athos Mount the hesychasts (the monks of the Jesus’ Prayer or of the mind’s prayer into the heart) are praying like this:

Jesus Christ.

Nothing else.

And they say that by doing this, with a lot of patience letting God to speak to you, you will be completely open, being and heart in absolute pace, for receiving God.

“… the deep mute mirror…/

of the mountain lake – now, see…/

a hawk is reflected…”

DIAMANTUL RUGACIUNII

Te poti ruga Sfintei Trinitati in intregul ei – unitate in uniune.

Te poti ruga doar Lui Dumnezeu-Tatal;

sau, numai Fiului Sau, Domnul Dumnezeu Iisus Christos;

sau, doar Sfintului Duh, Mingiietorul, cum Il numea Iisus. (Ioan 15/26 ; 16 / 7; 13)

Eu cred insa ca, diamantul rugaciunii il poti obtine rugindu-te :

Domnului Dumnezeu Iisus Christos, intru Tatal si Duhul Sfint.

Sau, pur si simplu, rugindu-te Lui :

Iisus Christos.

Pe Muntele Athos, isihastii (calugarii Rugaciunii Lui Iisus, sau ai rugaciunii mintii in inima) se roaga astfel :

Iisus Christos.

Nimic altceva.

Si, spun ei, astfel, cu rabadare, lasindu-L pe Dumnezeu sa-ti vorbeasca te vei deschide total, fiinta si inima in pace absoluta , intru a-L primi pe Dumnezeu.

…

“… oglinda muta…/

a lacului de munte…/

un soim rasfringe…”

Leonard Oprea created the Breathing, an original type of essay in Romanian and world literature.The Breathing is a short, simple yet profound meditation on human condition, a meditation ended by a haiku. But – this haiku does not finish the meditation. In fact, it re-opens this reflection to new questions and responses on human destiny. There are 100 Breathings in Leonard Oprea’s work „Theophil Magus – Confessions 2004 – 2006”, ed. „Universal Dalsi”, 2007, Romania)
