Precious Lord, we acknowledge you are the Almighty and most holy Word of the Father. You pervade the whole of reality, everywhere unfolding your power and shining on all things visible and invisible. You sustain it all and bind it together in yourself. You leave nothing devoid of your power but give life and keep it in being throughout all of creation and in each individual creature.
We praise your name.
Amen.
––Adapted from Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, (373AD)
