FOR MORE TO READ
(and in the tradition of the Catholic Worker to help "clarify thought"),
here are some engaging articles on matters miraculous:

Miracles as part of spiritual practice.
"What the Conversion of St. Ignatius can teach us 500 years later”
by Jean Luc Enyegue, S.J.

(Our thanks for viewing to America magazine)
 

Miracles as crucial to an understanding of Christianity.

"C.S. Lewis on Miracles: Why they are important and significant”

(Our thanks to the C.S. Lewis Institute)

 

 Pilgrimage and prayer for miracles of change.

Miracle stories found in the world’s great religions.

"Making Room for Miracles”
Introduction to The Book of Miracles
by Kenneth L. Woodward

(Our thanks to the author)

Lakota Mary and Jesus by Brother Mickey McGrath
 

(Likely for Dorothy Day, the Incarnation -- the wellspring
of her faith from which all her activism flowed -- was the
greatest miracle.)

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.

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Happy Dorothy-month! November is always a very special time of year for the Guild, since amid the close of the liturgical year, the beginning of Advent preparations, and the start of the winter holiday season for those of us in Northern Hemisphere, we also celebrate the anniversaries of Dorothy’s birth on November 8th and her death on November 29th. Thank you each for coming alongside us on this journey of faith as together, we work to make Dorothy’s legacy of nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and hospitality more widely known and practiced in our Church and in our world.

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello! We hope that this missive finds you all well, and hopefully wherever you are, enjoying the same beautiful weather we’ve been experiencing in South Bend. Our Catholic Worker community is starting to look towards colder weather and anticipate the upcoming needs of our unhoused guests and neighbors for warm clothing, tents, and sleeping bags, but we have still managed to squeeze in a tiny bit more warm-weather fun: camping, picnics, and making Dorothy and Catholic Worker-themed art as a fundraiser at a neighborhood fall festival!
