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 the ages of ages.
 
Amen.

 
May everyone have a blessed and fruitful Lent.
