Since Great Lent is imminent, I’d like to offer prayers for Christians of eastern tradition and also post the beautiful,
traditional prayer of St. Ephrem. (From EWTN.com)
{Making a prostration}
O LORD, Master of my life, grant that I may not be infected with the
spirit of slothfulness and inquisitiveness, with the spirit of ambition and vain talking.
{Making a prostration}
Grant instead to me, your servant, the spirit of purity and of
humility, the spirit of patience and neighborly love.
{Making a third prostration}
O Lord and King, grant me the grace of being aware of my sins and of not thinking evil of those of my brethren.
For you are blessed, now and ever, and forever.
Amen.
