Faith, Folklore, and Friends

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 Lord’s holy people,  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 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 glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.                                              ...
