There is plenty to do, for each one of us, working on our own hearts, changing our own attitudes, in our own neighborhoods.
Dorothy DayLove and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up. If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other's faults and burdens. If we love enough, we are going to light that fire in the hearts of others. And it is love that will burn out the sins and hatreds that sadden us. It is love that will make us want to do great things for each other. No sacrifice and no suffering will then seem too much.
Dorothy Day"How can you see Christ in people?" And we only say: It is an act of faith, constantly repeated. It is an act of love, resulting from an act of faith. It is an act of hope, that we can awaken these same acts in their hearts, too, with the help of God.
Dorothy DayWe must always aim for the impossible; if we lower our goal, we also diminish our effort.
Dorothy Day
