News Along the Way Good Works

at

Author Joan Chittister writes that “equality and community, service and mutual support takes many forms … Simply staying close to the mechanical functions of what it means to get through a day — running the vacuum, washing the dishes, shoveling the snow, doing the laundry, peeling the vegetables, cleaning out the car, making the bed, bathing the children — keeps us all, men and women, aware of the struggles embedded in every dimension of life. It makes us aware of the burdens carried by those around us, in the family and the neighborhood whose full lives we would otherwise never know. It gives us a sense of what it means to be a fully human human being. That kind of shared work makes a family a family and a community a community.”
