Marriage, death and Advent

Many people see marriage only as a loss of your singleton life. But in marriage you do not leave your life behind, for then you would have nothing to give your spouse! Rather, marriage is a journey towards the other for life.

Likewise, death for a Christian is not leaving something, but rather going towards someOne.

Let us approach this time of Advent in the same way; prepare not by lamenting the loss of material things, but rather by rejoicing at the advent of the Birth of our Lord.
