saying and so prepare ourselves and celebrate the sacred mysteries pray that walking words only in our vocation we may see human or things through christ our lord amen a reading from the book of exodus moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the lord swept the sea with a strong east wind throughout the night and so turned it into dry land when the water was thus divided the children of israel marched into the midst of the sea on dry land with the water like a wall to their right and to their left the egyptians followed in pursuit all pharaohs horses and chariots and charioteers went after them right into the midst of the sea in the night watch just before dawn the lord casts through the column of the fiery cloud upon the egyptian force a glance that threw it into a panic and so he clogged their ch wheels that they could hardly drive with that the egyptians sounded the retreat before israel because the lord was fighting for them against the egyptians then the lord told moses dawn the sea flowed back to its normal depth the egyptians were fleeing head on toward the sea when the lord hurled them into the midst as the water flowed back it covered the pharaohs whole army that had followed the children of israel into the sea not a single one of them as skate but the children of israel had marched on dry land through the midst of the sea with the water like a wall to their right and to their left thus the lord saved israel on that day from the power of the egyptians when israel saw the edge of the egyptians lying dead on the sea shore and beheld the great power that the lord had shown against the egyptians they feared the lord and believed in him and in his servant mos then moses and the children of his of israel sang this song to the lord i will sing to the lord for he is gloriously triumphant horse and chariot he has cast into the se the word of the lord thanks be to god let us sing to the lord he has covered himself in glory better sing to the lord he is covered in self and boring at the breath of your anger the waters piled up the flowing waters stood like a mound the flood waters congealed in the midst of the sea the enemy boasted i will pursue and overtake them i will divide the spoils of the have my fill of them i will draw void be with you reading from the holy gospel according to matthew while jesus was speaking to the crowds his mother and his brothers appeared outside wishing to speak with him so and told him your mother and your brothers are standing outside asking to speak with you they said they replied to the one who told him who is who is my mother and who are my brothers and stretching out his hand toward his disciples he said here my mother and my brothers whoever does the will of my heavenly father is my brother and sister and mother the gospel of the board those of us who are of us certain age eight would have listened to today's st reading from the book of exodus and pictured  work of the ten commandments that came out so many years ago it's been on t v a lot of times during special times of the year it's one of the things that the television studios bring out in the dramatic forgettable it's something that is a very dramatic explanation of what the book of genesis was talking about the bottom line for the whole thing is not only the special effects of something like that but much more important the love of god for his people that he preached preserved them and protected them from the power of the egyptians from this great force that they would have had absolutely no ability to fight or would to protect themselves against pharaoh and his army and his chariots and charioteers were the force that in modern times would say would be overwhelming to any any small nation and yet the people of israel as the book of genesis of exodus says were saved by god's love for them and for their leader moses so today we this into the word of god talks to us about ancient ancient history but it is also talking about the reality of god's love for us because it doesn't change he doesn't  become or doesn't stop being the mother god had for his people at one time and the love that he does or doesn't have today the love of god for the people of israel is the same as the love of god for ourselves who are the children of the lord of brothers and sisters of jesus we are protected by god we are given the opportunity to follow god's ways by the way we live our lives that's our protection from the powers  and his armies but from the power of the this world and for the difficulties in the temptations in the sinfulness at the world entices so many people to follow we have the lord on our side we don't have to for ourselves that we do everything we can to bring happiness and holiness to our families we
