The Dorothy Day Guild is collecting physical petitions in support of the cause for Day’s canonization. If you can, please follow the link, print out the petition, fill it out and mail it in. Petitions will become part of the documentation forwarded to the Vatican offices that oversee the canonization process: http://dorothydayguild.org/support/sign-petition/
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?
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.
