SCRIPTURE CORNER

ARK OF THE COVENANT, PRAY FOR US

in Exodus chapter 25 we read that Israelites kept in the Ark of the old Covenenant, the tablets of Commandments Moses received from God on Mount Sion, Aaron's staff and the vessel of manna. The Ark is a beautiful symbol of the Immaculate Virgin who was hiding in the ark of her soul the true manna, which is Christ the true Shepherd and Lawmaker. She was always faithful and obedient to the law of God executed by the priests. God does not lead us alone but through people of authority given by Him. For Our Lord says: He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me and he that despiseth me, despiseth Him that sent me. Lk 10:16 and: Let every soul be subject to to higher powers; for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase for themselves damnation. Rom 13: 1-2. Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. Jn 4:
