Always with Us
Dorothy Day
It is no use saying that we are born two thousand years too late to give
room to Christ.
Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late.
Christ is always
with us, always asking for room in our hearts. Yet now it is with the
voice of our contem-
poraries that he speaks, with the eyes of store clerks, factory workers,
and children that
he gazes; with the hands of office workers, slum dwellers, and suburban
housewives
that he gives. It is with the feet of soldiers and tramps that he walks,
and with the heart
of anyone in need that he longs for shelter. And giving shelter or food to
anyone who
asks for it, or needs it, is giving it to Christ.
