"There would be no need for preaching if our life were a beacon of virtues -- no call for words if we had deeds to show. There would be no pagans if we were truly Christians -- if we kept Jesus Christ's commandments, if we put up with unjust treatment and deception, if we blessed those who cursed us, if we returned good for evil. No one would be such a monster not to embrace the true religion immediately if we really lived like that" St. John Chrysostom

Year of Saint Paul

Prayer of the Apostle Paul (Ephesians 3: 14 - 19)

I kneel before the Father, from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that He may grant you in accord with the riches of His glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Small rant

I'm a bit annoyed that there is no free online version of the Liturgy of the Hours.

I know that the text is copyrighted and its respectful owners deserve some compensation, but it's a prayer! It should belong to the Church and should be made available to everyone.

I know sites exist that have the modified text but I want the exact same text as what's in my physical copy of the Divine Office.

In the spirit of Saint Paul why not make this treasure available for everyone for free. Just my rant...
