Sorry pressed return too early and is alternate letters backwards in the clue

4d evade (hidden in clue)

S weep?

Novenas?

Thanks to ab & jazzgirl - I should have seen both of those bu the tired mind is too battered from looking to spot what's in front of it!!

I thought possibly SWEEP but I can't twist it mentally to fit the clue......

series of prayers = Novena

Keen is to weep + son s - sweep to make a quick pass (as with the hands)

sorry, didn't spot AB. Novenas

Long shot - Soviets?

Thanks, again, to both of you.

I had thought of NOVENAS but was discouraged by my inability to think of SOVIETS.

Now I can go to say the midday Office with fewer distractions...............
