Exodus 14:5-18, Canticle Exod.15:1-6, Matt 12:38-42

I have dreamed a dream

When I visited the tomb of Martin Luther King Jr. last year, I recalled his prophetic sermon: “ I have looked over and seen the promised land; I may not get there with you, but we will reach a place where the rights of every man woman and child are respected” Like Moses, MLK did not live to see his dream a reality.
But a whole generation lived the dream. Blessed are those who have poured out their lives that others may enjoy a better life. I recall parents, grandparents who did this for their children.
