14Because of this, I am kneeling down before the father, 15the one who gives the name of ‘family’ to every family that there is, in heaven and on earth. 16My prayer is this: that he will lay out all the riches of his glory to give you strength and power, through his spirit, in your inner being; 17that the king may make his home in your hearts, through faith; that love may be your root, your firm foundation; 18and that you may be strong enough (with all God’s holy ones) to grasp the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the king’s love – though actually it’s so deep that nobody can really know it! So may God fill you with all his fullness. 20So: to the one who is capable of doing far, far more than we can ask or imagine, granted the power which is working in us – 21to him be glory, in the church, and in King Jesus, to all generations, and to the ages of ages! Amen!

O Love, O God who created me, in your love recreate me.

O Love, who redeemed me,

fill up in me whatever part of your love

has fallen into neglect within me.

O Love, O God,  who first loved me,

grant that with my whole heart,

and with my whole soul,

and with my whole strength,

I may love you.

Gertrude the Great
