The Lenten Prayer of St Ephraim the Syrian
Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of laziness, despair, lust of power and idle talk. (prostration)
But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Your servant. (prostration)
Yes, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own sins and not to judge my brother, for You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen. (prostration)
O God, cleanse me a sinner! (bow 12 times)
