“So
I say to you: Ask and it will
be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door

everyone who asks receives;
the one who seeks finds; and
to the one who knocks, the
door will be opened..
…Which of you fathers, if your
son asks for a fish, will give him a
snake instead? Or if he asks for
an egg, will give him a scorpion?
If you then, though you are evil,
know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more
will your Father in heaven give
the Holy Spirit to those who ask
him!” LUKE 11:9-13
