The Most Wonderful Work

The most wonderful work in all the world is not to take iron and steel and cogwheels and make a locomotive or a watch. Nor is it to take pen and parchment and write an Iliad. Nor is it to take paint and brush and canvas and paint an Angelus. But an infinitely greater task than all this is to take an ignoble, dishonest man and transform him into an upright lovable and honest man. Here we touch the creative power of the Galilean and bow before the mysteries of God.

-George R. Wellington
