Catholics see the “Hidden Word” in Mt. 7:7-12.

Question 1: “What is the ‘Hidden Word’ in Today’s Catholic Reading: ‘Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.’?”
Answer: “The ‘Hidden Word’ is ‘believe’. Those who do not ‘believe’ in God have no reason to ‘ask’ for or ‘seek’ His help. Humanity is divided into those who ‘believe’ in a Higher Power than themselves and ‘non-believers’ who do not.”

Question 2: “What lets a person be a ‘believer’ and be among ‘For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds’ and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.’”
Answer: “Jesus then tells us that nearly all people are ‘believers’ by telling us what ‘unbelievers’ do: ‘Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish’?
Jesus lets us realize that we are ‘believers’ who can be closer to God. ‘If you, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good things to those (you!) who ask Him.'”

Question 3: “Do ‘believers’ heed this Word of He Who Fulfilled over 300 Prophecies: ‘Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.’?”
Answer: “Believers heed that Teaching of Jesus. The most respectful ‘believers’ are blessed to obey His Church-Creating Word to His first Catholic Pope and get these ‘keys’ for their immortal souls: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
