Psalm 5:2 Douay-Rheims

Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

Asterius of Cappadocia

c. A.D. 270–341 Patristic

If one grants that indeed each animal recognizes the cry of its own offspring in the largest and most crowded flocks, that though a thousand calves may cry, the mother knows the cry of her own young, that though a thousand lambs may bleat, the female runs to the voice of her own and it does not fall, how much more among a thousand sinners crying out does God know the cry of the just and recognize him as the pure voice of his own child?
