This blog’s title has come back into focus, as it always should this time of the (Gregorian Calendar) year.
Lord and Master of my life, spare me from the spirit of indifference, despair, lust for power and idle chatter.
Instead, bestow on me Your servant, the spirit of integrity, humility, patience and love.
Yes, O Lord and King, let me see my own sins and not judge my brothers and sisters, for You are Blessed, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer of Saint Ephrem
