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.


Liam Ó Comáin,Derry City,Ireland.

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 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.
