DAILY CONTEMPLATION

August 13, 2026 ~ Mesore 7, 1742

Because they had shut the door against themselves
by professing ignorance of what they knew (Mt 21:23-27),
the Lord did not open to them, because they did not knock.
For it is said, “​Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”​
Not only did these not knock that it might be opened to them,
but by denying that they knew, they barred that door against themselves.
St. Augustine
