Gospel : Matthew 7:7-12
7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or who is there amongst you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Additions to Esther 14:1, 3-5, 12-14
1 Queen Esther also, being seized as it were with the agony of death, resorted to the Lord:
3 And she prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, O my Lord, you only are our King: help me that am desolate and have no other helper but you:
4 for my danger is in mine hand.
5 From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family, that you, O Lord, took Israel from amongst all the nations, and our fathers from all their progenitors, for a perpetual inheritance, and did perform for them whatever you did promise.
12 Remember, O Lord, make yourself known in the time of our affliction, and give me boldness, O King of the gods, and holder of all dominion.
13 Give me eloquent speech in my mouth before the lion: and turn his heart to hate him that fights against us, that there may be an end of him, and of them that are like-minded with him:
14 but deliver us with your hand, and help me that am desolate and have no other helper but you, O Lord.
