When we have spiritual reading at meals, when we have the rosary at night, when we have study groups, forums, when we go out to distribute literature at meetings, or sell it on the street corners, Christ is there with us.

More quotes by Dorothy Day
As for ourselves, yes, we must be meek, bear injustice, malice, rash judgment. We must turn the other cheek, give up our cloak, go a second mile.
Dorothy Day
Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
Dorothy Day
I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.
Dorothy Day
Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.
Dorothy Day
Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
Dorothy Day
No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.
Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
If you are rushed for time, sow time and you will reap time. Go to church and spend a quiet hour in prayer. You will have more time than ever and your work will get done. Sow time with the poor. Sit and listen to them, give them your time lavishly. You will reap time a hundredfold.
Dorothy Day
The idea that when the health of one member suffers, the health of the whole body is lowered is a teaching of St Paul which is timeless.
Dorothy Day
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
Dorothy Day
We want no revolution we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.
Dorothy Day
Once a priest told us that no one gets up in the pulpit without promulgating a heresy. He was joking, of course, but what I suppose he meant was the truth was so pure, so holy, that it was hard to emphasize one aspect of the truth without underestimating another, that we did not see things as a whole, but through a glass darkly, as St. Paul said.
Dorothy Day
What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?
Dorothy Day
A conversion is a lonely experience.
Dorothy Day
We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.
Dorothy Day
Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.
Dorothy Day
Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.
Dorothy Day
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
