Communion in the agony of Christ
“The Christian hope that is “not seen” is a communion in the agony of Christ. It is the identification of our own agonia with the agonia of the God Who emptied himself and became obedient unto death. It is the acceptance of life in the midst of death, not because we have courage, or light, or wisdom to accept, but because by some miracle the God of Life Himself accepts to live in us, at the very moment we descend into death.”

Turns out you ought not go with a woman on her mustache, irrespective of just how spectacular it's.
