Our Lady, Arc of the New Covenant – Dec 21 – Homily – Fr Bernard

 

Fr. Bernard M. Salter gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for Saturday of the Third Week of Advent (Dec 21, 2024), explains how today's Gospel offers proof of the theological insight that Our Lady is the true "Arc of the New Covenant." As such, Mary is Mediatrix of All Graces and Spouse of the Holy Spirit, mysteries which we celebrate in a particular way, with gratitude, during the Holy Season.

Ave Maria!
