  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the First Sunday of Advent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We do not know when, but we do know what.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Goodbyes can be painful. But what makes goodbyes even more painful is when we are not ready for the leaving or letting go. The goodness of the goodbye comes down to what we do with the time before goodbye.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
