"One of the essential paradoxes of Advent: that while we wait for God, we are with God all along, that while we need to be reassured of God's arrival, or the arrival our our homecoming, we are already home. While we wait, we have to trust, to have faith, but it is God's grace that give us that faith. As with all spiritual knowledge, two things are true and equally true, at once. The mind can't grasp paradox; it is the knowledge of the soul."
