    Matthew 14.5 Jesus Walks on the Sea Part I

    The Apostles are in the boat on the Sea of Galilee, while Jesus remains to pray. He comes to them in the fourth watch of the night. Jesus walks on the sea. Is there something about walking on the sea? Were there instances of prophets who walked on the sea? We explore the Old Testament and the original Greek language to gain insight on the significance of this event.

    Exodus 14.1 The Hebrews' PTSD

    The Hebrews left Egypt in great jubilation on their way to where Moses will lead them, a "land flowing with milk and honey." As they traveled Moses, following the Lord's direction to "turn back" stops at a land wherein they are hemmed in by the wilderness and the Sea of Reeds as directly translated from the original Hebrew, and seemed to be trapped by the geography of the land and sea. The Egyptians become more hardened in their hearts against the Hebrews and begins a military campaign to stop their escape. Where did this happen? Is that even important? We know from the text that when the Hebrews crossed the Sea of Reeds, there "was a wall of water to their right and to their left." Seemingly trapped by the land and sea and by the advancing army of pharaoh, the Hebrews complain and cry to go back to Egypt. Why would having just been freed from slavery would they want to go back to slavery?

    Matthew 14.4 Feeding the Sheep in the Jubilee

    We start off with St. John Chrysostom and St. Jerome and dive into Old Testament and New Testament Scriptural references. God/Jesus works a miracle of feeding the "sheep" by having the disciples distribute the food. This miracle points to and is brought to its fulfillment in the Eucharist as we see in the Gospel of John. We look to 2Kings 4:1-7; Psalm 78:19 and John 21:15-19.

    Exodus 13.2 Philistines Ahead and Egyptians to the Rear

    The Israelites are lead away from Egypt and as they leave, are instructed sacrifice the first to open the womb to the Lord of all the clean animals, and to redeem the unclean and the humans. St. Cyril gives us a Christological view of this redemption. As they leave Egypt, God instructs the Israelites to not take the Philistine road, the shortest route to Canaan, but rather toward the wilderness and the Reed Sea. The Ephraimites had met their destruction along the road of the Philistines and were destroyed. Who were the Ephraimites? We look ahead in the Book of Chronicles to answer that question. Why were the descendants of Ephraim, Joseph's younger son noted and not Manasseh who was the older? Dr. Hahn and Curtis Mitch explain this unusual pattern in Genesis. We review the importance of the Father's blessing, which involved the passing on of the priesthood to the first born son.

    Matthew 14.3 Foreshadowings of the Eucharist

    We begin by reading Matthew 14:13-36. Jesus withdraws from Judea upon learning of the execution/martyrdom of John the Baptist. Is Jesus a coward, or prudent? By what means did Jesus depart? What does that have to do with anything? We hear from St. Jerome and St. John Chrysostom that give us insight. We look at the feeding of the five thousand or commonly known as the multiplication of the loaves. Why is this significant? How many people were there including women and children? Was there ever another event that would give an indication that the Messiah would do such a thing?

    Exodus 13.1 Consecration of the First Born Male

    What does it mean to be consecrated to God? Why the first born male is consecrated and not any first born? Where did the Israelites approach the Red Sea? What is this pillar of cloud and the fire that leads the way for the Israelites? We look to Dr. Hahn, St. Cyril, St. Augustine and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to gain insight to this prefigurement of the freedom from sin and death effected by Jesus Christ in the foreshadowing of the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery to Pharaoh.

    Matthew 14.2 The Cost of John's Rigidity about Marriage

    Why would John the Baptist be risk his life over the illicit marriage of Herod to Herodias? What does the Church, based on the teaching of Jesus Christ himself say about marriage? Is marriage by the very nature of the sacrament indissoluble, or is that just an "ideal?" We look to the Council of Trent, Vatican II, and St. John Paul II to see the enduring nature of the Church's actual teaching about marriage. Situational ethics or "relativism" is not an excuse for violating the sixth commandment. Is God's grace enough for us to live out the commandments of Jesus about this very foundational sacrament?

    Exodus 12.3 The New Hidden in the Old

    We look at the Passover liturgical rite as a prefigurement of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We look to St. Cyril of Alexandria and Dr. Bergsma and Dr. Pitre to gain insight to the parallels between the institution of the Passover and that of the Sacrifice of Christ. St. Cyril interprets the five day period between the 10th day of Nisan and the 14/15 day of Nisan as the ages of the world and human history and how that relates to the New and Everlasting Covenant.
