I worked for 8 years in a program very similar to that of the "Catholic Worker" movement.

Like most of the volunteers, I started out as one receiving help, and did not fly in on the wings of victory.

Walking that walk will change you forever.

Day was a worker for the world most of us would like to live in, and was arrested multiple times at protests.

1. Dorothy on the call to sainthood.

(btw, thanks for posting this)

"We are all called to be saints, St. Paul says, and we might as well get over our bourgeois fear of the name. We might also get used to recognizing the fact that there is some of the saint in all of us."



Dorothy Day held many titles over the course of her life: social activist, journalist, Catholic convert, mother, political radical, pacifist, servant of God...the list goes on.

2. Beautiful

Thank you for the quote!

I also read that she asked for the money spent for any canonization effort to be donated to the poor instead.

The founder of my order did the same before he passed.

3. I'm so ignorant

I was today years old when I first heard of Dorothy Day.

Yet, I hear the name of the one whose name should never be mentioned a dozen times a day.

8. True

I can't search for news without his ugly face popping up.

Not true for the actual President.

Something's wrong with this.

4. One of my heroes since I was a teen.

5. Three members of my family including my mom and dad

Had subscriptions to The Catholic Worker since I believe the 1940’s. The postman was confused…all the other mail had Magen Davids on it

6. She presented the strain of Catholic belief that greatly prioritized works

over dogma. Liberation theology was another example. Sadly, the more right leaning
factions appear to have won out.

7. That's eminently true.

10. True but

That has started changing under this new Pope

As with everything else with the Church, glacially.
