12. “Not every one that saith unto Me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven,” S. Matt. vii. 21. saith the Scripture. Faith, therefore, august Sovereign, must not be a mere matter of performance, for it is written, “The zeal of thine house hath devoured me.” Ps. lxix. 9. Cf. S. John ii. 17. Let us then with faithful spirit and devout mind call upon Jesus our Lord, let us believe that He is God, to the end that whatever we ask of the Father, we may obtain in His name. S. John xv. 16; S. Luke xi. 9, 10. For the Father’s will is, that He be entreated through the Son, the Son’s that the Father be entreated. S. John xvi. 23, 24, and xiv. 13; S. Matt. vii. 7, 8; S. Mark xi. 24.
