Day 34: Ark of the Covenant, Pray for Us!

Ark of the Covenant

Remember the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark and the awesome powers associated with the ark? When the Israelites marched into battle with the ark leading the way, all challengers were vanquished. The ark was made of gold, and contained the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments, a sure path to salvation, and that was known as the Old Covenant. Those who made the effort to abide by that law, were assured salvation. The New Covenant is Jesus, and Mary carries in her womb the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, so she is the Ark of the New Covenant. The Blessed Mother, without stain of sin, is even more precious than gold, and within Her womb She holds the New Covenant, Jesus himself. By the recitation of Her rosary, all who would challenge our Christian commitments will be vanquished.

Ark of the Covenant, pray for the Church and the nation.

On Sundays we pray the Glorious Mysteries.
