Manichaean Gnostic Holy Heart Prayer
This app contains an ancient Gnostic Christian prayer for a holy heart or pure mind. A rare text, this Manichaean Scripture is rich in spiritual meaning and significance, and rewarding for study or meditation. God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit (Paraclete or Comforter) and the Virgin Mary are all mentioned within this prayer. A few lines are fragmentary due to the age of the original manuscript.
What is Manichaeism?
Manichaeism was a dualistic religious system with Christian, Gnostic, and pagan elements, founded in Persia in the 3rd century by Manes (circa 216–circa 276). The system was based on a supposed primeval conflict between light and darkness. It spread widely in the Roman Empire and in Asia, and survived in eastern Turkestan (Xinjiang) until the 13th century.
What is Gnosticism?
Gnosticism was a religious movement which traces its roots back to the early Christian Church. It was characterized by a belief in gnosis or esoteric knowledge, through which the spiritual element in man could be released from its bondage in physical matter, and that Jesus Christ was an emissary of God or Supreme Being who enabled the redemption of the human spirit. "Gnosis" is variously interpreted as knowledge, enlightenment, salvation, emancipation or oneness with God.
