1. When David first tried to have the Ark
of the Covenant brought to Jerusalem he did
not prepare properly and disaster resulted.
A man was killed when he disrespectfully
reached out to touch the ark. As the sign of
God's presence among the chosen people, the
ark needed to be treated with a great respect.
What sacrament did Jesus Christ give the
Church in order that we might have God's
presence with us today? Whenever we enter
a church or attend Mass, what signs of respect
should we show toward our Lord in the
Precious Sacrament in the tabernacle or on
the altar? What are some ways in which the
tabernacle is like the Ark of the Covenant?
