George Leo Haydock, on John 6:37

“All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.”

“, and 66. No one can come to me, unless the Father draw him. [1] These verses are commonly expounded of God’s elect; who are not only called, but saved, by a particular mercy and providence of God. God is said to draw them to himself by special and effectual graces, yet without any force or necessity, without prejudice to the liberty of their free-will. A man, says St. Augustine, is said to be drawn by his pleasures, and by what he loves. (Witham)”
