To know also the charity of Christ,

which surpasseth all knowledge

that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

Now to Him, who is able to do all things,

more abundantly than we desire or understand,

according to the power that worketh in us;

To Him be glory in the church,

and in Christ Jesus unto all generations,

world without end.

Amen.

  1. Oh, how I miss European churches and cathedrals. My favorites in Munich (I was not yet Catholic when I was growing up there, but I liked to rest there because of the art and the fact that it was always cool in the summer and quiet): St. Michaelskirche on the Neuhauserstr. and the Theatinerkirche, St. Cajatan. The latter has the most incredible stucco work). How did I ever end up in the Pentecostal Badlands of Tennessee?!!
