Prayer of St. Ephraim

[nicodemus]

The Prayer of St. Ephraim that is frequently prayed during Lent is a powerful prayer and one that we would really do well to pray year round. I'd hate to see it "bought & sold" like a fad, but it would be wonderful if this prayer was more widely known throughout the world and we all adhered to it.

Also, there is a book called Three Prayers by Olivier Clement that analyzes it as well as the Lord's Prayer and Oh Heavenly King.

I have the book and have scanned through it and it looks like its going to be really good.

This prayer was in our church bulletin yesterday!

Fr. told us to pray it every morning during Lent.
