"That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evilβ€”widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower."

It began when ordinary people – people of no particular power, wealth, or fame – decided that the world could and should be different.
