The Prayer of Jesus is said like this: Lord Jesus Christ, son of God,
have mercy on me, a sinner. Originally it was said without the addition of the
word sinner: this word was added to the other words of the prayer later. This
word, remarks Saint Nil Sorsky, which implies a consciousness and confession of
the fall, is fitting for us and pleasing to God who has commanded us to offer
prayers in acknowledgement and confession of our sinfulness.
Saint Ignatius
