THE PRAYER OF SAINT EPHREM THE SYRIAN

O Lord and Master of my life,take from me the spirit of sloth, despondency,lust of power, and idle talk; But grant rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant.

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