Spiritual Quote of the Day (Dorothy Day, on ‘The Sense of Our Small Effort’)

“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.”—American political and social activist—and Roman Catholic convert—Dorothy Day (1897-1980), The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of Dorothy Day (1952)
