We knock, as it were, more earnestly at the gates of heaven — we * thrice beseech the Lord ' — and the veil is for a moment withdrawn, and the Son of Man is there standing to receive our prayer.

It is in the Litanies of the Middle Ages that we first find the R 242 THE LITANY. cha...p. xn.
invocations not only of Christ our Saviour, but of those earthly saints who have departed with Him into that other world. These the Protestant Churches have now ceased to address.
