As Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant was incapable of violation of any Commandments: she was conceived without sin!
The ark was only to be viewed by the priesthood.
As Jesus the High Priest was the only One to occupy the Womb of Mary!
Others were struck dead for violations.
As Mary remained a Perpetual Virgin!
And after a long day, I would like to get back on topic! The Immaculate Conception Feast, December 8
(Novena, Nov. 29-Dec. 7)
1. Mary, Mother of God, I believe what Holy Mother Church teaches about your Immaculate Conception: that from the first moment of your conception you possessed justice and holiness—that is sanctifying grace, even the fullness of grace, with the infused virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit, and with integrity of nature; yet you remained subject to death and other pains and miseries of life that your Son Himself willed to undergo.
For the first time after four thousand years God in His Wisdom and power and love, created again a human being in that state in which He had created our first parents. Immaculate Virgin, you are that human being. Because of sanctifying grace infused into your soul, you were from the first moment of your existence most intimately united with God and endowed with the most precious gifts of heaven. You possessed a perfect faith, a firm hope, a burning charity, a deep humility, a purity greater than that of the angels. Your soul is the creation and the masterpiece of almighty workmanship. The Archangel Gabriel expressed this very clearly: "Hail, full of grace"—there was no room left for sin; "the Lord is with thee"—where God dwells, Satan can have no rights; "blessed art thou among women"—you were elevated above all other women in the world.
Mary, My Mother, you were never without grace. From the first moment of your existence the Holy Spirit made you His temple and blessed you with the fullness of His grace. Your Immaculate Conception, purchased by the Precious Blood of the Son of God Himself and freely bestowed upon you as the highest gift of God, is the most wonderful work of sanctification that the world has ever seen.
“As Jesus the High Priest was the only One to occupy the Womb of Mary!”
“Mary, My Mother,...”
Houston, we have a problem!
