Article 2 THE WAY OF PRAYER
2667
This
simple invocation of faith developed in the tradition of prayer under many forms
in East and West. the most usual formulation, transmitted by the spiritual
writers of the Sinai, Syria, and Mt. Athos, is the invocation, “Lord Jesus
Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners.” It combines the
Christological hymn of Philippians 2:6-11 with the cry of the publican and the
blind men begging for light.18 By it the heart is opened to human
wretchedness and the Savior’s mercy.
