Penitential Prayer of Venerable Ephrem the Syrian

Prayer of St. Ephrem:

Lord and Master of my life! Drive away from me the spirit of laziness, negligence, pride and idle talk. (bow to the ground).

Grant me the spirit of purity, humility, patience and love, to your servant. (bow to the ground).

Yes, Lord, King! Grant me to see my sins and not to judge my brother, for you are blessed forever and ever. Amen. (bow to the ground).

God, be merciful to me, a sinner! God, cleanse my sins and have mercy on me! I have sinned countless times, Lord, forgive me! (12 small bows).

Lord and Master of my life! Drive away from me the spirit of laziness, negligence, pride and idle talk. Grant me the spirit of purity, humility, patience and love, to your servant. Yes, Lord, King! Grant me to see my sins and not to judge my brother, for you are blessed forever and ever. Amen.

Holy God; Most Holy Trinity; Our Father.

Lord, have mercy (12 times) - and prayer at the appropriate time.
