Heutige Lesungen
Erste Lesung
Exodus 14:21-15:1
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army. He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians!" The LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen." Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh's army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them. But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses. Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
Antwortpsalm
Exodus 15:8-9, 10 and 12, 17
With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.' You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them. You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
Evangelium
Matthew 12:46-50
Da er noch also zu dem Volk redete, siehe, da standen seine Mutter und seine Brüder draußen, die wollten mit ihm reden. Da sprach einer zu ihm: Siehe, deine Mutter und deine Brüder stehen draußen und wollen mit dir reden. Er antwortete aber und sprach zu dem, der es ihm ansagte: Wer ist meine Mutter, und wer sind meine Brüder? Und er reckte die Hand aus über seine Jünger und sprach: Siehe da, das ist meine Mutter und meine Brüder! Denn wer den Willen tut meines Vaters im Himmel, der ist mein Bruder, Schwester und Mutter.
