Lord and Master of my life, do not give me a spirit of sloth, curiosity, lust for power, pride or idle talk. But give to me, your servant, a spirit of sober mindedness, humility, patience, and love. Indeed, Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brother, for you are blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen
