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 and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, We hope that this missive finds you well on the feast of St. Scholastica, twin sister to St. Benedict and the founder of the first Benedictine monastic community for women. Taught by Peter Maurin, who loved the communitarian spirit of the Benedictine monks and nuns, and the esteem in which they held hospitality and manual labor, Dorothy took an early interest in the Benedictine tradition.

Warm Winter Wishes

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Greetings to each of you on a chilly winter morning! As I write this, the sun is peeking over the trees and illuminating the bird tracks on the snowy rooftop outside my window. These crisp days are exciting, especially for those of us who are just beginning the semester at school or university, and we hope each of you is finding fulfillment in good work undertaken in the new year. Our Catholic Worker community here in South Bend was recently blessed with a visit from our dear friend Carmen Trotta, an advisor to the Dorothy Day Guild and long-time member of the New York Catholic Worker community.
