Joy Before the Ark of God
Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and HomiliesAbout this episode
The image of John the Baptist leaping in joy in the womb of his mother at the sound of the greeting of the Blessed Virgin Mary hearkens back to the Old Testament image of David, leaping and dancing before the Ark of the Covenant. The New Testament is properly understood when one references patterns or events that are described in the Old Testament.
