" I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
For this reason I kneel before the Father,
from whom His whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you
with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
