"In the industrialized and post-industrial world, death usually arrives late. [...] Even animal deaths are hidden from view: We buy the shrink-wrapped meat of creatures whose faces we have never seen. Mortality remains an inescapable fact, but it has been tamed, sanitized, and banished to the margins of our consciousness."

"The longing of Christians in exile is not primarily for a physical place of security. Our longing is fulfilled when we see Jesus coming in clouds with power and glory (cf. Mark 13:26).
At no time of the Christian year do we experience our homelessness more acutely than at Advent. Holding out for Christmas, we cry out for Jesus to end our exile—to be our final home."
