FOR MORE TO READ
(and in the tradition of the Catholic Worker to help "clarify thought"),
here are some engaging articles on matters miraculous:

Miracles as part of spiritual practice.
"What the Conversion of St. Ignatius can teach us 500 years later”
by Jean Luc Enyegue, S.J.

(Our thanks for viewing to America magazine)
 

Miracles as crucial to an understanding of Christianity.

"C.S. Lewis on Miracles: Why they are important and significant”

(Our thanks to the C.S. Lewis Institute)

 

 Pilgrimage and prayer for miracles of change.

by Claudia Avila Cosnahan

Miracle stories found in the world’s great religions.

"Making Room for Miracles”
Introduction to The Book of Miracles
by Kenneth L. Woodward

(Our thanks to the author)

Lakota Mary and Jesus by Brother Mickey McGrath
 

(Likely for Dorothy Day, the Incarnation -- the wellspring
of her faith from which all her activism flowed -- was the
greatest miracle.)

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello! We hope that this missive finds you all well, and hopefully wherever you are, enjoying the same beautiful weather we’ve been experiencing in South Bend. Our Catholic Worker community is starting to look towards colder weather and anticipate the upcoming needs of our unhoused guests and neighbors for warm clothing, tents, and sleeping bags, but we have still managed to squeeze in a tiny bit more warm-weather fun: camping, picnics, and making Dorothy and Catholic Worker-themed art as a fundraiser at a neighborhood fall festival!

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild,  We are writing to share the sad news that our friend Patrick Jordan, former editor of The Catholic Worker , founding member of the Guild, and close friend of Dorothy’s, died last week on Thursday, October 2nd. Pat joined the Catholic Worker movement in 1968, and met his wife, Kathleen DeSutter Jordan, working together on the soupline soon afterwards.

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello! We hope that as always, this missive finds each of you well in these final days of summer. After a slightly slower-paced August, the Guild is now gearing up for an exciting autumn season as we approach the 45th anniversary of Dorothy’s death this November 29th, the day that we hope will very soon be celebrated as her feast day.
