Pour out upon us, O Lord, that same Spirit by which thy deacon Ephrem rejoiced to proclaim in sacred song the mysteries of faith; and so gladden our hearts that we, like him, may be devoted to thee alone; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today is the feast of Saint Ephrem the Syrian. He was a poet and a theologian. Founded a school in Mesopotamia and when the Persians invaded his native town of Nisibis, he moved to Edessa. He is famous not only for the beauty of expression of his homilies but also for his hymns. pic.twitter.com/uDRt79C7Eh
