so communion with God is mainly through
prayer and it is recommended by Saint Paul the apostle Paul recommends without ceasing
he says pray that is to pray constantly what does this mean it does not
mean constantly to pray it means to have the memory of God to
keep in the back of our mind and in our hearts the memory of
God, that is, what we heard in church, what we saw, let us
constantly recreate them and preserve the memory of God within us, this is one
secret prayer yes and yes if we can
also work on mental prayer which is a superior form of prayer in relation to the
logical prayer we do in the church all the services of the
church are logical prayer because it is done with the intellect the
intellect participates mental prayer but it is mainly done with the heart because according to
mental prayer when mental prayer means the monologue
prayer of Jesus who is the Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on the
sinner, this prayer when the person says it and brings it down from the mind,
from the intellect, it comes down to the place of the heart, this prayer can be
done from the heart and become continuous with the grace of God and when
it comes down this prayer in the space of the heart and when the grace of God acts
then tears come to man, the tears of repentance which
cleanse his soul from the passions and when he receives when
the man acts for a long time this prayer and God gives him the uninterrupted
heart prayer as a gift of the holy spirit then what happens the
holy spirit comes and prays here in the heart space in the man and the
man feels here in this space of the heart a prayer should be acted that
is not his so this is the prayer of the holy spirit and then
it happens when the night acts day this happens when this acts in the
heart of man, the prayer of the holy spirit comes and acts here,
that is, grace comes and acts here and the holy spirit prays on
behalf of the person, then man really becomes a temple of the holy
spirit, his body that is, because with the holy baptism we are a temple of the holy
spirit but by virtue that is because holy baptism the soul with passions and
sin are buried or grace is buried inside and with repentance
and tears, the soul cleans these debris little by little, and when
it cleans one by one, the soul and God wants to give us this
prayer, that is, a finding from our life, God gives us this prayer in
the heart of the holy spirit where the holy spirit prays permanently
inside the person and then the person begins and
progestogen before wish gives him joy gives him peace gives him a state that
does not exist neither anxiety nor depression nor anything so this is the main
work of the monk but because the gospel is the same for the
laity and the monk and the layman can achieve this state
of unceasing heart prayer it is a little more difficult but he can
achieve it and there are lay people who have achieved
this, so here we answer the first question, how does communion with
God manifest itself in monastic life, this communion with God in monastic life manifests itself through
prayer and study and the permanent memory
of God that man must
maintain within himself and how man loses the memory of God when he turns
to the world when he turns on his cell phone when he watches television when he starts
talking worldly and his mind leaves God and he starts talking about
worldly things the memory of god goes away and then he has to come back and
find it again and struggle to find it again the memory of god
