O LORD AND MASTER OF MY LIFE,

            give me not the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.

(Prostration)

✠

BUT GIVE, RATHER,

            the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.

(Prostration)

✠

YEA, O LORD AND KING,

grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother,

for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.

(Prostration)

✠

If I have sinned against you or offended you in any way, forgive me and pray for me, a sinner, as I pray unworthily for you.
