I kneel before the Father
From whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name
And I pray He will bestow
Gifts in keeping with the riches of His Glory
May He strengthen you inwardly
Through the working of His Spirit
May Christ dwell within your heart through faith
And may charity be the root and sure foundation of your life
And so attain unto the fullness of God Himself
And may you grasp fully with all of the holy ones
Who have surely come before
The height and depth and the width and breadth of Christ’s love
And experience this love beyond knowledge
May He strengthen you inwardly
Through the working of His Spirit
May Christ dwell within your heart through faith
And may charity be the root and sure foundation of your life
And so attain unto the fullness of God Himself
I kneel before the Father
From whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name
