"The mystery of the poor is this: That they are Jesus, and what we do for them we do for him."--Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day (1897-1980), co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, has recently been proposed for canonization. Through her houses of hospitality, the practice of the works of mercy, and her prophetic work for peace and justice, she offered a radical witness to the gospel in action. But it was as much in her everyday life as in her public activities that she expressed her spirituality and found her path to holiness. This anthology explores the key themes that underlay her spirituality, beginning with the call to see Christ in the poor. Day's spirituality was deeply influenced by the "Little Way" of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, which showed the path to holiness in the daily exercise of patience, charity, and forgiveness. Dorothy extended this principle to the social dimension, the significance of the little protests we make or fail to make. She believed that each act of love, each witness for peace, increases the balance of love and peace in the world.Back Jacket
