A new gate of heaven in Germany


Sermon of His Beatitude DANIEL, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, on the occasion of the consecration of the place and the laying of the foundation stone for the construction of a Romanian church in Munich, Germany, Sunday, 11 September 2011: 1. Consecration of a place for the building of a new church is a special event in the life of an Orthodox community. Why is that? Because a new church, as a place of worship, represents a new „Gate of heaven” and a new „House of God” (cf. Genesis 28:22), and its construction brings together people in prayer and action.
