Description

The Prayer of Saint Ephrem. A Lentos prayer card.

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.

St. Ephraim the Syrian (AD 305-373)
