Common sense in religion is rare, and we are too often trying to be heroic instead of just ordinarily good and kind.
Dorothy Day
Image
We want no revolution we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.
Dorothy Day
