SPIRITUAL TEACHING IN THE PRAYER OF ST. EPHRAIM

April 14, 2024 by bradmin

by Fr. Jonathan H. Cholcher The Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian (said during weekdays of Lent; translation mine): O Lord and Master of my life, do not give me the spirit of idleness, curiosity, lust of power, and idle talk.
