“What is Mary Frecon [one of the workers] doing? She is loving her brothers, fervently, steadily, faithfully, unfailingly. And there is nothing saccharine, soft, or sentimental about it either… There is no glory in it, no visible results in it. There is nothing in it, in other words, for her, either in money, power or glory. But it is undoubtedly a manifestation of love, of God’s love, and that of one human being for others. And so it is something tremendous.”

-Dorothy Day, The Catholic Worker, December 1946
