Beautiful! Thanks Sal.

Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant. Holy indeed!

I especially like the part that says Mary was the third person born without Original Sin (after Adam and Eve).

It made me think of Seth, the third child of Adam and Eve, the “replacement.” Mary is the replacement for the Ark of the Covenant.

Seth is also considered the forefather of Noah and all the future “righteous.” Mary is the mother of the Righteous One.
