Great quote!
In this millennial season, many people will come to you shouting that the end is near, and that the latest skirmish across the sea is surely the battle of Armageddon. Don't be frightened. You can tell them that, yes, the end is near; yes, the Apocalypse is now. But the Church has always taught that the end is near--as near as your parish church. And it's something you should be running to, not from.
--Scott Hahn, The Lamb's Supper, Doubleday 1999, p. 145
