Ephesians 3:14–21

By reason of this grace, I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom all paternity in heaven and on earth takes its name. And I ask him to grant to you to be strengthened in virtue by his Spirit, in accord with the wealth of his glory, in the inner man, so that Christ may live in your hearts through a faith rooted in, and founded on, charity. So may you be able to embrace, with all the saints, what is the width and length and height and depth of the charity of Christ, and even be able to know that which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do all things, more abundantly than we could ever ask or understand, by means of the virtue which is at work in us: to him be glory, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, throughout every generation, forever and ever. Amen.
