All
who ask receive, those who seek find, and to those who knock it shall
be opened. Therefore, let us knock at the beautiful garden of
Scripture. It is fragrant, sweet, and blooming with various sounds of
spiritual and divinely inspired birds. They sing all around our ears,
capture our hearts, comfort the mourners, pacify the angry, and fill
us with everlasting joy.
