[May] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call. (Ephesians 1:17-18a NABRE)
Saint Paul expressed these wishes for his fellow believers in Ephesus, that they come to know God and to know the hope that belongs to his call.
We ought to wish these same things for each other. Say it this way: My wish for you is that you will come to know God more deeply today, and also that you will come to feel the hope which springs from his call on your life.
God does call you! And if you will answer yes to his call, as Paul says, there is a new hope that will arise within you.
Today, I will pray for a spirit of wisdom and revelation and an enlightened heart.
Saints Marcellinus and Peter, who once sent an impulse of encouragement through the whole Church, pray for us.
