St. Ephrem's Prayer for Lent 2011

The Lenten Prayer
of St. Ephrem


O Lord and Master
of my life,
take from me
the spirit of sloth,
despair, lust of power,
and idle talk.

Grant rather
a spirit of
chastity,humility,
patience, and love
to me Thy servant.

O Lord and King,
grant me to see my own errors, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou unto the Ages of ages. Amen.
