Daily Prayer

Lenten Prayer of St. Ephrem

O Lord and Master of my life,

keep from me the spirit of

indifference and discouragement,

lust for power and gossip

Bow

Instead, grant to me, Your servant,

the spirit of wholeness of being,

humility, patience and charity.

Bow

O Lord and King,

grant me the grace

to be aware of my own sins

and not judge my neighbor;

for You are blessed forever and ever. Amen.

St. Ephrem of Edessa (AD 306 - 373)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God; Have mercy on me, a sinner.
