Knock and the door will be opened

Knock and the door will be opened Matthew’s Gospel for this Lenten weekday begins with Jesus saying: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”(Mt 7:7-8) Here, we are to do the knocking, the desire to seek and find is ours, but I keep going back to the Book of Revelation where it is the Lord who knocks. “Look, I am standing at the door and knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share her meal, side by side with her.” (This is the way I remember the passage with the feminine pronouns but you can look it up in the Jerusalem bible, Rev 3: 20)
