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
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
Dorothy Day
We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.
Dorothy Day
I think anarchy is natural to the Catholic. The Church is pretty anarchistic, you know. Who pays attention to the Pope or the Cardinals?
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
I cannot worry much about your sins and miseries when I have so many of my own. I can only love you all, poor fellow travellers, fellow sufferers. I do not want to add one least straw to the burden you already carry.
Dorothy Day
I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
Dorothy Day
A conversion is a lonely experience.
Dorothy Day
How much did I hear of religion as a child? Very little, and yet my heart leaped when I heard the name of God. I do believe every soul has a tendency toward God.
Dorothy Day
If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.
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
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.
Dorothy Day
To love with understanding and without understanding. To love blindly, and to folly. To see only what is loveable. To think only of these things. To see the best in everyone around, their virtues rather than their faults. To see Christ in them!
Dorothy Day
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
Dorothy Day
Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.
Dorothy Day
Think what the world could look like if we took care of the poor even half as well as we do our Bibles!
Dorothy Day
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
Dorothy Day
Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action.
Dorothy Day
The only way to live in any true security is to live so close to the bottom that when you fall you do not have far to drop, you do not have much to lose.
Dorothy Day
We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
