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)

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

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.)

"The Great Work That Is To Be Done"-- Autumn invitations and reflections

By Casey Mullaney • September 30, 2026
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.

Works of Mercy and Works of Peace: A Late-Summer Missive from the Guild

By Casey Mullaney • August 31, 2026
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!

Summer Greetings and Canonization Updates

By Casey Mullaney • July 15, 2026
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.”
