WHERE TRUE LOVE LEADS

'The only reason the love of parents, the love of a spouse, the love of children, and the love of friends are precious is because they in some way resemble God's love. All human love derives from God and is meant to direct us back to God.' 

Dorothy Day in Jana Marguerite Bennett, Singleness and the Church, p.206. 

WRITING

'Writing is an act of community. It is a letter, it is comforting, consoling, helping, advising on our part as well as asking for it on yours. It is part of our human association with each other. It is an expression of our love and concern for each other.'

Dorothy Day in David Brooks, The Road to Character, p.98.
