“The phrase presumes a humble turning to God with urgent prayer and desperate need.”
Carroll Stuhlmueller, C.P., in “The Jerome Biblical Commentary”, Vol. 1, p.380.

The very first words in the Scripture readings last Sunday in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church were these:

“The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground….” (Gn. 2:7)

See what I wrote in the post from yesterday.

No wonder….
