敘利亞的聖厄弗冷 祈禱文
( 大齋期的平日，週六日除外，於晨禱和晚禱之後，加誦此祈禱文 )
喔！主，我生命的主宰。求主帶領我遠離怠惰與怯懦，去除我對權力的渴望，使我不再虛擲光陰，陷入無意義的閒談。求主賜予我，祢真誠的僕人，貞潔、謙卑、耐心與愛心。喔，主，我生命的國王。求主應允我的祈求，使我看清自己的缺失，也求主寬恕弟兄們的過錯。祢是萬福之主，直到世世代代。阿門。
Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian (Great Lent)
O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. Instead, give to me, Your servant, the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love. Yes, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brother, for You are Blessed from all ages to all ages. Amen.
