O Lord and Master of my life!
Take from me the spirit of sloth,
faint-heartedness, lust of power,
and idle talk.
But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love
to Thy servant.
Yea, O Lord and King!
Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother.
For Thou art blessed
unto ages of ages.
Amen
Lord have mercy on me, a sinner!
