Mary: Ark of the New Covenant

Listen Later

It isn’t uncommon for Catholics to hear that we put too much emphasis on Mary... or, “She’s not that important…She’s barely even in scripture.” Well… Mary is ALL over scripture.

This "shorty" (The name we have decided to call short bonus episodes) teaches on Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant.
What is the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament? How does Luke's Gospel present Mary as the New Ark? What does this have to do with the Assumption? Find out in this shorty!

Passages referenced:

  • 2 Samuel 6:2–3; 6–12, 16, 18
  • 2 Maccabees 2:4-8
  • Luke 1:39–46, 56
  • Hebrew 9:4
