ACC ~ Matthew 6 v8

BEFORE YOU ASK

ANONYMOUS: Your Father knows what is necessary for you before you ask him. If he knows what we want ahead of time, then we do not pray to demand from God what we want but that it may please him to bestow what we need. God is to be conciliated, not taught; a long prayer is not needful for him but a genuine spirit. INCOMPLETE WORK ON MATTHEW, HOMILY 13. [1]

[1] PG 56:710-11.
