Precious Gifts in MARY, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

Talk #1:  The Holy Eucharist

In the past, for the Jews, the Ark of the Covenant was a sacred and highly valuable treasure, as it contained the Manna Bread and the Two Stone Tablets of the Covenant. At the present time, the Ark of Mary is also cherished in the Church, because Mary bore the Son of God, the Word of God, the Bread of Life, and the Law. Through the imagery of the Manna in the Ark of the Covenant, and especially during the National Eucharistic Revival, we are invited to revive a reverence for the Eucharist by cherish the Holy Mass, active participation, and receive the Holy Communion.
