祝福之後，保祿將他為厄弗所人所作的代禱告訴了他們。這種順序符合當時書信寫作的慣例。

保祿祈求信徒們能夠明白他們所擁有的盼望、等待他們的基業、天主的大能。

他們從哪裡可以學到這樣的大能和恩典呢？

透過默想耶穌。

天主將祂高舉在萬有之上，並立祂為教會的元首。教會享受祂大能的同在，並成為祂向世界傳遞信息的使者──而這個世界早已屬於耶穌。

我們需要時常默想這些，才能意識到我們已經擁有的恩賜是何等偉大。

After the blessing, Paul lets the Ephesians know his prayer of intercession for them. This sequence conforms to the usual pattern of contemporary letter writing.

Paul prays that the believers may understand the hope they have, the inheritance awaiting them and the power of God.

Where do they can learn such power and grace? By meditating on Jesus. God extolled him above all beings and gave him as the head of the Church. The Church enjoys His powerful presence and is His messenger to the world, a world that already belongs to Jesus.

We need to often recall these thoughts, to realize how great is the gift we already enjoy.
