At Matins and Vespers do the Lenten Troparia and the Prayer of Saint Ephrem

TROPARIA for the end of Lenten Vespers (Tone 5)
-Hail, O Mother of God, Virgin Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you have given birth to the Savior of our souls.
-O you Baptizer of Christ, remember us all, that we may be forgiven, for you have been favored with the grace of interceding in our behalf.
-Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
-O holy apostles and all you saints, intercede for us, that we may be protected against danger and distress, for we have obtained you as our eager intercessors before the Savior.
-Now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
-O Mother of God, we have sought refuge in your tenderness: do not turn away from our supplications while we are being tempted. Protect us instead against danger, O you who alone are Virgin and blessed.

PRAYER of Saint Ephrem (Recited at the end of weekday services)
-O Lord and Master of my Life, grant that I may not be infected with the spirit of slothfulness and inquisitiveness, with the spirit of ambition and vain talking.
-Grant instead to me your servant the spirit of purity and humility, the spirit of patience and neighborly love.
-O Lord and King, bestow upon me the grace of being aware of my sins and of not thinking evil of those of my brethren.
