DOROTHY DAY-

PATRON SAINT

OF THE WORKING CLASS.

~~~

Dear Dorothy, servant of God,

Please intercede for us

So that the love of Christ-

He for us and we for Him-

Will transform the world

Into a society in accordance

With the will of Our Eternal

Labouring Father.

~

Thus by the Grace of God’s

Holy Spirit flooding the hearts

Of humanity via the hands

Of Our Lady may love reign

And justice and equality

Exist for all of human kind.

An objective which communism

And other political ‘isms’ have attacked

Via generating divisions used for the

Purpose of personal and sectional

Interests and not that of humanity

As a whole.

I was assigned to read The Long Loneliness in my senior year at Notre Dame, just as I was going out into the world. Dorothy Day showed me it was possible to give my life to Christ in our world today. Isn’t that what saints do for us?

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Lenten greetings to each of you! Even just one week in, it’s been a great gift to journey with Dorothy, who reminds us that the practices of Lent, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are powerful tools in the struggle for justice and peace. On the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Catholic Worker movement and newspaper , Dorothy wrote about the seamless garment of love that was the animating force of Christian faith. “We want to show our love for our brother, so that we can show our love for God,” she said in 1943, “and the best way we can do it is to try to give him what we’ve got, in the way of food, clothing and shelter; to give him what talents we possess by writing, drawing pictures, reminding each other of the love of God and the love of man. There is too little love in this world, too little tenderness.”

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.
