The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?

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 have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.
• 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.
• A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.
• It won’t be an easy journey. It’ll be long, and arduous. But I promise you one thing: on the memory of those lying here before you, we shall find it, and Earth shall become our new home. So say we all!
