Jesus wants us to fast and do penance. This is the secret of the Christians’life. We can turn suffering into precious gold. This is whatthe alchemists were dreaming of.

One day in the morning Manna came from heaven. Can you imagine? Manna (food) from heaven. What does this mean? What was God getting at? He was trying to tell us that we must depend on God for everything. He was also telling us that every day we must go to communion.

He called Simon Peter and three other people to be his apostles. Simon Peter said, “Leave me Lord, for I am a sinful man.”We are the same. We have been chosen by Jesus to do a certain job. But are we up to it? Can we stick it out? The road is long and the mountain is steep. How many weary days and nights we have to go through to get to heaven?

When Jesus died he was the blood of the lamb. He was the new lamb. He was sacrificed for us. He shed his blood on the cross. His blood washed us clean from all our sins. This is the Passover.

We all know the saying, “If the teaching can be taught it is not the true teaching.”In other words, the truth can not be put into words. How can we put heaven into a book? It’s like trying to put the ocean into a cup.

What would you do? The army is behind you and the Red Sea is in front of you. Well, you rely on God. God said to Moses,\"Raise your staff.\" And a great miracle happened. The Red Sea parted.

This Ark prefigures the tabernacle, which is in every Catholic church. When we go to any Catholic church, we can talk to Jesus in the tabernacle. Today we don’t have to go to the Sinai. We don’t have to climb the mountain. We don’t have to go to Egypt. We just go to the Catholic church. Heaven is in the Catholic church. God dwells there. This is the biggest gift to mankind.

The Israelites leave Egypt. This means that they want to be baptized and start a new life. But Pharaoh changes his mind. What does that symbolize? That symbolizes our old inclination, our old prejudice. We find it difficult to change. So Pharaoh\'s army comes galloping after the sraelites.

God establishes a contract with his people. He said,“I will be your
God and you will be my people.” That day he decides that Israel is his chosen race (people). Today the new Israel is the Catholic Church. God has decided that all Catholics are part of Jesus\' mystical body.

our whole lives are a Passover, because the basic meaning of Passover is to go from earth to heaven. And that after all is the real meaning of life. That is to say we want to go from this earth to heaven. We all have dreams and the most wonderful dream is to get to heaven. This is what we are all striving for.
