Augustine of Hippo
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 6
Mt 6, 10English original
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven.
(De Don. Pers. 3.) From this passage is clearly shewn against the Pelagians that the beginning of faith is God’s gift, when Holy Church prays for unbelievers that they may begin to have faith. Moreover, seeing it is done already in the Saints, why do they yet pray that it may be done, but that they pray that they may persevere in that they have begun to be?
