Second Sunday of Lent
The second Sunday of Lent is called “Sunday of the palsied Man.” Men must repent for their sins. If they want to be forgiven Christ cannot heal our soul if we do not repent for having offended God by our iniquities. The Church leads us in pious exercises of prayer and fasting because our weakness can be healed by them.
The prayer of St. Ephrem
“O Lord and Master of my life,
drive from me the spirit of discouragement,
negligence, ambition and idle talk. (Prostration).
“Grant me, your servant, the spirit of
chastity, humility, patience and charity. (Prostration)
“Yes, my Lord and King, grant me to see my
own sins, and not judge my brother, for
you are blessed forever, and ever. Amen.”
(Prostration)
