Moses went up Mount Sinai to meet the Lord. He begged the Lord to accompany the Israelites, “a stiff-necked people.”

He asked God to pardon their wickedness and sin.

2nd Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11—13 Paul encouraged the Corinthians to mend their sinful ways and help one another live in peace. He wrote to them, “The grace of
