Notes:
* in the early Church, the Jesus Prayer was used as a repetitive prayer, as one would the "Hail Mary"
* the Prayer is traditionally linked to breathing, thus it was meditative
* see [https://www.holyrosary.com.au/the-jesus-prayer.htm The Jesus Prayer (holyrosary.com.au)]
* see [https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/642/ CCC 2665-2669]
But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God received in his incarnation: JESUS. The divine name may not be spoken by human lips, but by assuming our humanity The Word of God hands it over to us and we can invoke it: "Jesus," "YHWH saves." The name "Jesus" contains all: God and man and the whole economy of creation and salvation. To pray "Jesus" is to invoke him and to call him within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him.
