From Dr. Timothy Patitsas
“We think it’s called the “Jesus Prayer” because it has the name of Jesus in it. But the real reason is that it is a fractal of the Son’s own primordial prayer to the Father—the “moment” when He received the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father in order to rest upon the Son, and the Son poured himself out for the creation of the cosmos, and later for its restoration. For St. Maxi-mos the Confessor this describes the way the world was created.”
