In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan. He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap. In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light. He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep. He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

As you stood between Israel and the Egyptian hordes, as you slaked their thirst and provided for them in the wilderness, so the Son has opened a passage for the Church through the Sea of Sin and Temptation, standing between us and the myriads of the Evil One. You have provided the Living Water that slakes our thirst for the pleasures of this world permanently.
