PERSONAL PRAYER AS A WAY TO THEOSIS FORMULATED BY KALLISTOS WARE

Summary/Abstract: This paper shows personal prayer as a way to theosis formulated by Kallistos ware. It is also an attempt to show the role of a body in a prayer. orthodox church, being strongly influenced by Fathers tradition, teaches that hesychia is a state of peace for a person who prays short formula ‘Jesus christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me’. the prayer that is of a mouth at first, becomes through a prayer of intellect to a prayer of a heart, that is a constant being in front of God. prayer of a heart makes a man the prayer. Becoming a prayer assumes participation of a body. Jesus revealed his divinity in the body. hesychia is then a prayer of a holy person and has its result in unification. A person who does not sleep but prays through the light of tabor makes his nature better. Theosis is final unification.
