'...the ache of loneliness is an ever-present reminder that the wholeness and connection we crave, the very fellowship we are created for, will not be fulfilled until all things are made new in the second coming of Christ...We can comfort each other in the solidarity of this condition. We can welcome the ache knowing it will not last forever and that Christ's redeeming work is moving even now, inviting us in.'
Erin F Moniz, Knowing and Being Known: Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships, p.144.
