More than likely, you’re aching for human connection right now. We can’t go see our friends when we want to, or get together with our family. With public Masses canceled, we’re missing our church communities and small groups.
You’re probably in your home, seeing the same four walls and same faces day in, day out. Or maybe you live alone and the only way you can connect with others is a passing “hello” to neighbors and a phone call with your loved ones.
But you’re not only hungry for human connection, you’re hungry for conversations about things that matter. Maybe you’d love to talk about anything but Coronavirus, but that’s where conversations tend when you chat with friends and family.
