God gave the Law to Moses. Whoever observed it was prepared to accept the revelation and the grace of redemption.
The just and the patriarchs who awaited and hoped for the Redeemer were saved.
Thus, in the desert, whoever was bitten by the venomous serpents and looked at the bronze serpent raised on the pole was saved (see Ex 20:1–21; Num 20:4–9).

May you be blessed, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three persons in one God.
You have always remained close to sinful and erring humanity, showing the way and providing hope.
The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Christ the Savior.

Glory to God . . .
Jesus Master . . .
Mary, Queen of Apostles . . .
