*Молитвено правило (κανών )
Сасатоји се од молитава и метанија** које се свакодневно чине, под руководством духовног оца.
** Метанија (μετάνοια )
У првобитном смислу, «μετάνοια» (мета`нија) означава покајање, а буквално, „промена ума”. Међутим, такође се може употребити у значењу посебног чина када се човек прекрсти, и одмах након тога се поклони, или скроз до земље или само у појасном делу. Овај чин је знак обожавања, поштовања, клањања Богу односно покајања. Обично, молитвено правило подразумева и известан број метанија које се чине док се изговара Исусова молитва. Неки преводиоци користе и реч „пасти ничице”.
Старац Јефрем из Аризоне
Every night, review how you passed the day, and in the morning review how the night passed, so that you know how your soul’s accounts are doing. If you see a loss, try to regain it through caution and forcefulness. If you see a profit, glorify God, your invisible helper. Do not let your conscience prick you for long, but quickly give it whatever it wants, lest it take you to the judge and the prison (cf. Mt. 5:25 ). Does your conscience want you to attend to your prayer rule* and regain prayer? Give it these things, and behold, you are delivered from going to the judge. Do not weaken the saving voice of your conscience by disregarding it, because later you will regret it to no avail.
*Prayer rule (κανών )
Α prayer rule consists of the prayers and metanoias** which one does daily, under the guidance of one’s spiritual father.
** Metanoia (μετάνοια )
Ιn its primary sense, «μετάνοια» (pronounced «meh-tah΄-nee-ah» ) means repentance, literally, “a change of mind”. However, it can also mean the specific act of making the sign of the cross, followed by a bow either down to the ground or to the waist. It is a gesture of reverence, worship, respect, or repentance. A typical prayer rule includes a number of metanoias done while saying the Jesus prayer. Some translators use the word “prostration” for this term.
