The Face of Christ

[Jesus] had set us an example and the poor and destitute were the ones we wished to reach.  The poor were the ones who had jobs of a sort, organized or unorganized, and those who were unemployed or on work-relief projects.  The destitute were the men and women who came to us in the breadlines and we could do little with them but give what we had of food and clothing.  Sin, sickness and death accounted for much of human misery.  But aside from this, we did not feel that Christ meant we should remain silent in the face of injustice and accept it even though He said, "The poor ye shall always have with you."--Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness, pg. 205.
