"O Lord and Master of my life, grant not unto me a spirit of idleness, of discouragement, of lust for power, and of vain speaking. But bestow upon me thy servant the spirit of purity, of meekness, of patience, and of love. Yea O Lord and King, grant that I may perceive my own transgressions and judge not my brother, for blessed thou art unto ages of ages. Amen." (Prayer of St. Ephrem)
