Wisdom from Dorothy Day

 
 
 

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? When we begin to take the lowest place, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion, which led to the Cross, then we can truly say, ‘Now I have begun.’

—Servant of God Dorothy Day

quoted in Russell Shaw’s book, Turning Points: How Thirteen Remarkable Men and Women Heard God’s Call and Responded to It
