Quote from Dorothy Day

We had a reflection on Dorothy Day this weekend at our masses during the 5th Sunday of Lent.  The founder of the Catholic Workers movement and newspaper, a peace and justice activist, an accomplished journalist, and a great woman of faith, Dorothy Day is a great example of faith for all of us.  Her is one of Day's profound quotes: 

“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. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.”
