    Exodus 3: 13 - 20

  "But," said Moses to God, "when I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' if they ask me, 'What is his name?' what am I to tell them?" God replied, "I am who am."  Then he added "This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I Am sent me to you."

   God spoke further to Moses, "Thus shall you say to the Israelites: the Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.  This is my name forever: this is my title for all generations.  Go and assemble the elders of the Israelites, and tell them: The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me  and said:  I am concerned about you and about the way you are being treated in Egypt; so I have decided to lead you up out of the misery of Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.

  Thus they will heed your message. Then you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent us word.  Permit us, then, to go a three days' journey in the desert, that we my offer sacrifice to the Lord, our God.

  Yet I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless he is forced.   I will stretch out my hand, therefore, and smite Egypt by doing all kinds of wondrous deeds there. After that he will send you away."


Psalm 105: 1, 5, 8 - 9, 24 - 27

   Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name; make known among the nations his deeds.

    Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought, his portents, and the judgments he has uttered.

  He remembers forever his covenant which he made binding for a thousand generations - which he entered into with Abraham and by his oath to Isaac.

    He greatly increased his people and made them stronger than their foes, whose hearts he changed, so that they hated his people, and dealt deceitfully with his servants.  He sent Moses his servant; Aaron, whom he has chosen.  They wrought his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.


Gospel of Matthew 11: 28 - 30

  Jesus said:

  "Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon your shoulders and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart.  Your souls will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden light."
