We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.

More from Dorothy Day

• No one has the right to feel hopeless, there’s too much work to do.
• People say, "What is the sense of our small effort?" They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.
• We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
