We begin our prayer: In the Name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Leader: Like the Israelites, we are on a journey with
God. Along the way, there are difficulties,
challenges, obstacles and hardships that test
our faith and courage. But we follow Jesus,
who tells us, “Do not be afraid” (Matthew 14:27).

must tell the Israelites.”

words, for in accordance with them I have made a
covenant with you and with Israel." .

days and forty nights, without eating any food or
drinking any water, and he wrote on the tablets the
words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
What would YOU do?
We are called by God to follow his plan for us. There
may be challenges and obstacles, but God always
provides love and guidance on our journey. Discuss a
time that you felt like the Israelites, lost in the desert.
How did God show his faithfulness?
God demonstrated his love and faithfulness to the
Israelites and worked many miracles. What is a
miracle? What miracles have you experienced?
Why did God give the Israelites the Ten
Commandments? What do the Ten Commandments
mean to you today?
What would YOU do?
Why was Moses angry with the Israelites? Do you
think you would have been part of the group building
the golden calf? What are some of the false gods in
today’s world?
The guiding cloud symbolized that God was directing
the Israelites journey to Canaan. When or where is a
time that you felt God’s presence in your life?

Remember, most loving Virgin Mary,
never was it heard that anyone who
turned to you for help was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, though
burdened by my sins,
I run to your protection for you are my
mother.
Mother of the Word of God,
do not despise my words of pleading,
but be merciful and hear my prayer.
Amen
