Robert Ellsberg on Why Saints & Why Dorothy

por with Carolyn Zablotny • 7 de junio de 2026
It is always “good talk” — the name of this column — when one has the pleasure, as I did here, of sitting down with Robert Ellsberg. Hardly a need to introduce this prominent American religious author, publisher, and editor. He is the definitive editor of Dorothy Day, with volumes of her writings to his credit, including her diaries (The Duty of Delight ) and selected letters ( All the Way to Heaven ). Often described as a “saint watcher,” his many award-winning books include All Saints: Daily Reflections on Saints, Prophets, and Witnesses for Our Time. Currently he serves as Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Orbis Books, the publishing arm of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, and as a Board member of the Dorothy Day Guild.

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Greetings! As always, we hope that this missive finds you healthy and well as many of us settle into a new seasonal rhythm. September is a month of many feast days and celebrations, and for those of us in the United States, it’s also back-to-school season, which brings its own wave of fresh energy and excitement. This month has flown by, but we wanted to write and share some invitations, articles, and new resources for prayer and study with you.

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support for our cause; keep reading to learn more about how you can continue to be involved in the coming months!

Summer Greetings and Canonization Updates

por Casey Mullaney • 15 de julio de 2026
Dear Dorothy Day Guild friends and members, We hope that all of you are well, and for those in the United States, that you had a safe and happy July 4th weekend! Fifty years ago, for America’s Bicentennial anniversary, National Catholic Reporter included a six-page spread of greetings, poetry, and commentary from both ordinary and prominent American Catholics. Dorothy responded to their request for a quote with a one-word message to her country: “Repent.”
