Seraphim Alexiev, archimandrite Remission of sins. A commentary on the Prayer of St. Ephrem the Syrian Translated from Bulgarian by Gheorghita Ciocioi Provided that he is not altogether perverted, man hates sin. He feels, however, that he is not able to escape it on his own. Without the divine support, no sinful man has turned righteous. This is why the prayer of Saint Ephrem the Syrian teaches us to beseech God for the remission of our sins: “ O God… Take from me the spirit (that is, the state of) sloth, despondency, lust of power, and idle talking!” (Archimandrite Seraphim Alexiev) Format: 11 x 20 cm; 160 p.
