The Lenten Prayer of St Ephrem – 2

Why does this short and simple prayer occupy such an important position in the entire lenten worship?

Because it enumerates in a unique way all the “negative” and “positive” elements of repentance and constitutes, so to speak, a “check list” for our individual lenten effort.

This effort is aimed first at our liberation from some fundamental spiritual diseases which shape our life and make it virtually impossible for us even to start turning ourselves to God.
