“Thou spreadest thy tent over the scattered ones as the blue canopy of heavenly love is spread over all creatures.
Thou flowest from soul to soul as the golden stream of sunshine over the plains.
Though art an ever-flowing stream, an embrace in eternal realms of blessedness.” — Hymnen an die Kirche

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. — Hebrews 11:13

(3) A related quote from Peter Kreeft:

First, as a Christian, he [Lewis] would remind us of what modern Christians have forgotten for the first time in Christian history: that we are strangers and aliens in this world, spies in enemy territory. Perhaps we can do nothing to save our country, our civilization, or even our planet; but even if this is so, we must remember that “this world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through”, that our true country is Heaven, and that the Church, Christ’s own mystical body, is Heaven’s impregnable and indestructible outpost on earth. Let us remember our only absolute patria and not misplace our primary patriotism. We are guaranteed survival, success, and salvation as the Church, but not as Americans, as Westerners, or as this world.
