O Lord and Master
of my life,
take from me the
spirit of laziness,
meddling, ambition
and vain talk.
But give me a spirit
of prudence, humility,
patience and love.
Yes Lord and King
grant me to see my
own sins and faults
and not judge my
brother.
For You are Blessed
Forever and ever.
Amen.
(Prayer of St. Ephrem)
