Metropolitan Kallistos Ware on Hesychastic Peace - Orthodox (Philippians 4:6-7)
"The peace that passes understanding is hesychia—the deep stillness of the soul united with God. Through prayer—especially the Jesus Prayer—the nous descends into the heart, and divine peace fills the inner sanctuary. This peace guards against the passions." — Kallistos Ware.
