"The sons of the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD." 1 Chronicles 15:15
The Levites are the tribe of Israel that had the responsibility of doing the temple duties, some were priests others had other duties. Only the priests could carry the Ark. The Ark carried the Word of God, the tablets that God gave to the Israelites in the Old Testament. Who carried the Word of God to God's people in the New Testament? Mary. Who has the responsibility of carrying the Ark in the New Testament? Priests? "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" 1 Peter 2:9. You are responsible, the Ark was never greater than what it carried but it was given a place of honor in our salvation history. Are you giving Mary a place of honor in your priestly duties?
Dear Father God, as you clearly state, we are a royal Priesthood, a chosen race no different than the levites. Help me live up to my priestly duties, may I lift up the Ark on my shoulders and give Her a place of honor. I thank You for our heritage, to be part of Your Holy Family. Show me how to acknowledge my faith in various ways throughout the day. In the name of the Son of Mary, Amen.
