THE LENTEN PRAYER OF ST. EPHREM THE SYRIAN O Lord and Master of my Life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; for thou art blessed unto ages of ages. Amen.

Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral

Founded in 1904 by our Greek immigrant progenitors, Saint Sophia has become these past decades a beacon of Orthodox Christianity in our nation's capital. In terms of theology, liturgy, hymnology, architecture and iconography, the community of Saint Sophia Cathedral strives always to manifest the Body of Christ on earth as conceived and expressed by the Great Tradition of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Services are offered both in Liturgical Greek and English, and chanted in authentic Byzantine mode.

We invite you to come and visit and pray with us as we glorify Christ our True God.
