Today, with our friends from Saint Cyriac’s Illuminated College, we shall chant a select forgotten verse from the Authorized version of the Book.
St Matthew, Chapter 7, verse 7:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
Ask, as a traveller asks the way.
Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost.
Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door.
Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer we knock.
Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you.
A reckoning is not to be postponed indefinitely
For i was hungry and you gave me only pelt of trees, i was thirsty and you gave me only ink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me into your jail.
I was free and you bound me, I was well and you killed me, I was revealed and you concealed me.
Then he will say to those on the left. “Away from me, you are under god’s curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been created for the devil and his angels!”
