| Luke 11:9 | *And I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. Matthew 7:7.; Matthew 21:22.; Mark 11:24.; John 14:13.; James 1:5. | Our petitions are frequently not immediately granted, that our earnestness and assiduity may be increased; that we may learn to esteem the gifts of God, and preserve them with care, for whatever we procure with labour, we preserve with care, lest by losing it we lose our labour also. (St. Basil in Con. Mon.) |
