The Jesus Prayer Project

Mary's Way is a group of God-loving families formed to bring people of all ages back to God, first, and then, back to their families. The dedication of our name, then, is to Mary, the Mother of God, who "did it" first. Her total and complete humility drew God into her womb, bringing us her son, Jesus, the bridge back to His Father. So, as God Himself used a family in His eternal plan, His greatest intention is to raise up a family to be with Him forever ... in Heaven. The way up, then, is down, in total dependency and complete humility upon Him who loved us enough to "buy us back" with His very life.

1) To this end, the deification (filling up with Himself) of the whole world, is the purpose to which Mary's Way is dedicated.

2) This may be accomplished very simply by each person's frequent repetition of the "Jesus Prayer."

We pray you'll join us in His way ... wherever or whatever "state" you are in. And if you have been touched by the "Jesus Prayer," please pray it forward; pass it on to a friend. Click here for "movie" tickets to print out and share.

With God's blessings,

P.S. The children's pictures are used as a reminder to get simpler, to get smaller, to be humbler, to become more dependent on God. Our "poster child" is the most dependent child I have ever met -- I'm sure there are many others like her, bless their hearts -- Amanda, who went to be with the Lord on July 13, 2001, at age 18. She never walked, she never talked, or did any of the things of a "normal" 18-year-old, but her soul was jubilantly intact, and, for eternity, she's completing her course!
