Life is a banquet, even with a crust (Dorothy Day)

   We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other.  We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore.  Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship. 

 --Dorothy Day,  
The Long Loneliness:   
The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic  School Activist (Harper, 1952), 285.
