Consider that, at Nazareth with Saint Joseph and then later, Christ and His Mother repeatedly read this paragraph from the end of chapter six of the book of Deuteronomy. And we are in Holy Communion today with Christ our Lord.
"And so, in time to come, when one of thy sons asks thee what is the meaning of all the decrees and observances and awards which the Lord your God has given you, this shall be thy answer: 'We dwelt in Egypt once, as Pharao’s slaves, and the Lord our God rescued us from Egypt by His constraining power, subduing Pharao and his court with portents and marvels, great and grievous, under our eyes. So rescued, He brought us here, and gave us entrance into this fair land which He had promised to our fathers; warning us that we must observe all these laws of HGis, and go in fear of the Lord our God. Then the prosperity that is ours to-day will be ours all our life long; He will have mercy on us, if He sees us ever faithful to His commandments, ever obedient to His will." - Deuteronomy, 6: 20-25
