2. Where are you from?

Today’s reading is from the Book of Exodus 
The Israelites lived in Egypt for many years. They took root there. They became part of the landscape there. It’s similar in our case: we live in some part of the world, which also becomes an important part of us. The continent, the country, the city or town as well as the family that we come from says a lot about us. Take a moment to reflect on your own roots, your own beginnings. What or where do you identify with?

We can understand our origins as a blessing: good memories from home, friendly and beautiful local traditions. Sometimes, however, our roots for us are like the army of Egypt, which are chasing us, and we are trying to escape them by every means. What is your situation like at the moment? Are you trying to escape from something?

Where do you come from? What is your starting point on your pilgrimage of life? Are you ready for God to lead you through the Red Sea, to your very own personal promised land?
