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?

Winter wishes from the Dorothy Day Guild

Dear friends, Greetings, and happy Feast of the Presentation! Today’s Gospel reading brings the Holy Family into the embrace of Anna and Simeon, faithful prophets who trusted that God would send them a redeemer, and who recognize the child Jesus in His mother’s arms as their long-awaited Savior. As we continue to await news of a miracle which will further Dorothy’s canonization cause, may we remain as prayerful and vigilant as Anna and Simeon, and as ready to welcome Christ in our neighbors, especially the poor.

Happy New Year!

Dear friends, Merry Christmas from all of us at the Dorothy Day Guild! We hope that all of you were able to enjoy some rest and refreshment as Advent concluded and we began the celebration of the Christmas season. Every year, Kelly Latimore’s beautiful image of Dorothy welcoming the Holy Family to Maryhouse captures for us the spirit of hospitality, vulnerability, and peace that characterizes this time of year. Many thanks to the artists and musicians who have brought such beauty and variety to our homes and our liturgies over the past few weeks!
