Prayer

admin • July 7, 2022

“I was surprised that I found myself beginning to pray daily. I could not get down on my knees, but I could pray while I was walking.”
- Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness

The Dorothy Day Guild invites all our FB friends and followers to join with us in becoming a community of prayer for the needs of the people of the world. Let us raise our voices together to help heal – through her intercession — the world’s wounds and our own brokenness.

One of the Guild’s primary charges, now that the written and oral evidence of Day’s “heroic virtue” has been gathered and her case formally submitted, is to document the “favors and graces” attributed to her holiness. A further sign of God’s blessing.
We would be deeply grateful for your generously sharing with us the nature and impact of your prayer request (no matter how seemingly big or small) by emailing us: gracesandfavors@gmail.com.
Pace e Bene! Peace and All Goodness!

Dear friends, Happy February! We hope that each of you had a joyful Christmas season. After a busy autumn of travel and excitement, all of us at the Guild were grateful for a little time to rest and enjoy the holidays and are now looking forward to being back in a more regular rhythm of activity. We have a number of great, free programs coming up in the next few months and lots of other news and updates to share with you just below!

Dear friends, Advent greetings to each of you! We hope that in the midst of what for many of us is a busy, exciting, and sometimes stressful time of year, you have had a few moments of peace where you have been reminded of the joy we are all anticipating. Christ is again coming into our midst, in order to make us members of His Body and draw us closer to each other and closer to God in love.

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Happy Dorothy-month! November is always a very special time of year for the Guild, since amid the close of the liturgical year, the beginning of Advent preparations, and the start of the winter holiday season for those of us in Northern Hemisphere, we also celebrate the anniversaries of Dorothy’s birth on November 8th and her death on November 29th. Thank you each for coming alongside us on this journey of faith as together, we work to make Dorothy’s legacy of nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and hospitality more widely known and practiced in our Church and in our world.
