Just as people do not enter war in order to enjoy war, but in order to
be saved from war, so we do not enter this world in order to enjoy this world,
but in order to be saved from it. People go to wars for something greater than
war. So we also enter this temporal life for the sake of something greater: for
eternal life. And as soldiers think with joy about returning home, so also
Christians constantly remember the end of their lives and their return to their
heavenly fatherland.
Saint Theophan the Recluse
