the lenten prayer of st. ephraim the syrian


O Lord and Master of My Life!
Take from me the spirit of sloth,
faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk.
But give rather the spirit of chastity,
humility, patience and love to Thy Servant.
Yea, O Lord and King!
Grant me to see my own errors
and not to judge my brother;
For Thou art blessed unto ages of ages.
Amen
Great Lent: Journey to Pascha, Alexander Schmemann
