here are some engaging articles on nonviolence:

Nonviolence as a way of life.
"In a violent world, some find Gospel nonviolence a worthy alternative."

(Our thanks for viewing to the
National Catholic Reporter)
 

More light on the full flowering of Day's pacifism.

"The Spirituality of Dorothy Day's Pacifism,"

Vivid recounting by one who was there of the
Catholic Worker's efforts to practice peace.

"The Roots of Dorothy Day's Pacifism:
Solidarity, Compassion, and a Stubborn Hold on Truth,"

An inflection point in American Catholic history.

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Greetings! As always, we hope that this missive finds you healthy and well as many of us settle into a new seasonal rhythm. September is a month of many feast days and celebrations, and for those of us in the United States, it’s also back-to-school season, which brings its own wave of fresh energy and excitement. This month has flown by, but we wanted to write and share some invitations, articles, and new resources for prayer and study with you.

Dear Dorothy Day Guild members and friends, Greetings and peace to each of you, your families, and your communities. As always, we hope this missive finds you well. This month’s update is a quick one, but we have a few invitations for fall events to share with you, as well as some reading and listening recommendations (including a collection of audio recordings of Dorothy’s talks and lectures you may not have heard before!) for the end of the season. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support for our cause; keep reading to learn more about how you can continue to be involved in the coming months!

Dear Dorothy Day Guild friends and members, We hope that all of you are well, and for those in the United States, that you had a safe and happy July 4th weekend! Fifty years ago, for America’s Bicentennial anniversary, National Catholic Reporter included a six-page spread of greetings, poetry, and commentary from both ordinary and prominent American Catholics. Dorothy responded to their request for a quote with a one-word message to her country: “Repent.”
