Homily given by Fr. Rankin on the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos. In his homily, Fr. Rankin spoke about the meaning of the words spoken about the Theotokos "Blessed is She who believed that the words to Her would be fulfilled".
The Holy Theotokos was the perfect daughter of Israel, waiting to receive the Messiah. And she is the perfect woman who represents the Church. Finally, she is the perfect Christian and was the first human to receive the fulfillment of the resurrection where body and soul are reunited after death.
