When we say the Jesus prayer and think of all those we want to pray for, our motivation is love. "My God, You know how much I love this person. My love is not mine because You are the source of love. From this source of love, I too, offer You this person. And I beg You to give this person enlightenment, mercy, strength, faith and all Your rich gifts. I can only offer my humble love. And I beg You for (after saying this introduction, take a knot on the komboskini and say): (name)..., (name)..., (name)..., and you will mentally bring those persons to Christ's feet, as if they were really kneeling and praying themselves.
