Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the everlasting Light that shines on every man... He does not want to force His way in rudely, or compel us to admit him against our will….
Our door is faith; if it is strong enough, the whole house is safe. This is the door by which Christ enters….
It is the soul that has its door, its gates.
Christ comes to this door and
knocks;
He knocks at these gates. Open to him; He wants to enter, to find His
bride waiting and watching…'
St. Ambrose
