THE WAY OF A PILGRIM is the English title of a 19th century anonymous Russian work, detailing the narrator's journey across the country while practicing the Jesus Prayer, with the help of a prayer-rope and the study of the Philokalia. The Pilgrim's inner journey begins when he hears the word of the Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, to ‘pray without ceasing’. He visits churches and monasteries, to learn how to pray unceasingly. His travels lead him to an Elder who teaches him The Jesus Prayer: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me’. Also includes ‘The Pilgrim Continues His Way’.
