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 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.

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.
