A lenten prayer O
ne of the most beloved fathers of the early Church is St Ephrem the Syrian. Born in the city of Nisibis (Turkey) in approximately AD 306, Ephrem was a deacon and a hermit who made enduring contributions to the theology and spirituality of the Christian East. His voluminous writings include theological treatises, spiritual works and commentaries on the entire Bible. But Ephrem also composed some of the most profound theological poetry for the Church, the most famous of which is arguably this Lenten Prayer.
O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, Faintheartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not judge my brother; For Thou are blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen.
