“Find a quiet place to sit alone and in silence; bow your head and shut your eyes. Breathe softly, look with your mind into your heart; recollect your mind—that is, all its thoughts—and bring them down from your mind into your heart. As you breathe, repeat: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me,” either quietly with your lips, or only in your mind. Make an effort to banish all thoughts; be calm and patient, and repeat this exercise frequently”

“O Lord and Master of my life,
Take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk,
But grant rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to your servant.
Yes, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults, and not to judge my brother and my sister,
For You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen.”
