The Gate Between Heaven and Earth

In this Homily for the Feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, Fr. Irineos calls us back to remember the special and vital role the Theotokos played in the restoration of the broken communion between God and His creation. Looking at both the scriptural foreshadowing of her role and the necessity of her assent, Fr. Irineos forcefully expounds the importance of the remembrance of the Theotokos in the economy of our salvation.
