Faith Q&A › Catechism › 6. The Jesus Prayer or the Arrow Prayer

How did St. Augustine practice continual prayer through the name of Jesus?

The answer

Having experienced the power of the name of Jesus in his repentance from sin, St. Augustine proclaimed, saying, “No one can pray in the name of the Savior if he is praying for something other than salvation.”
