Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one comes from St. Ephraim.<\/p>\n
O Lord and Master of my life,
\nGrant not unto me a spirit of idleness,
\nof discouragement,
\nof lust for power,
\nand of vain speaking.<\/p>\n
But bestow upon me, Thy servant,
\nthe spirit of chastity,
\nof meekness,
\nof patience,
\nand of love.<\/p>\n
Yea, O Lord and King,
\ngrant that I may perceive
\nmy own transgressions,
\nand judge not my brother,
\nfor blessed art Thou
\nunto ages of ages.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
