The Lenten Prayer of Saint Ephrem the Syrian
O Lord and Master of my life, free me from the spirit of sloth, meddling, love of power
and idle talk.
But grant to me, Your sinful servant, the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love.
Yes, O my King and my God, grant me to see my own sins and faults and not to judge my brothers, for You are blessed unto ages of ages.
Amen.
