| Matthew 7:9 | *Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? Luke 11:11. | Lest any one considering the great inequality between God and man, should despair of obtaining favours of God, and therefore should not dare to offer up his petitions, he immediately introduces this similitude of the Father; so that if we were on the point of despairing on account of our sins, from his fatherly tenderness we might still have hopes. (St. Thomas Aquinas) |
