The Lenten prayer of St Ephraim the Syrian

The Great Lenten Prayer of St Ephraim:


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

But grant unto me, Thy servant, a spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love. Prostration

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see mine own faults and not to judge my brothers and sisters. For blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. Prostration

O God, cleanse Thou me a sinner 12 times with bows

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despondency, lust for power and idle talk. But grant unto me, Thy servant, a spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love. Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see mine own faults and not to judge my brothers and sisters. For blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. One great prostration
