More quotes by Dorothy Day
The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.
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
We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.
Dorothy Day
Everything a baptized person does each day should be directly or indirectly related to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
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.
Dorothy Day
Together with the works of mercy, feeding, sheltering, and clothing our brothers, we must indoctrinate.
Dorothy Day
The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us. When we begin to take the lowest places, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion which led to the cross, then we can truly say, 'Now I have begun'.
Dorothy Day
If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens.
Dorothy Day
Life itself is a haphazard, untidy, messy affair.
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
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
Dorothy Day
Some have more capacity. Some proceed a few steps along the way. But Christ seemed to love all men. He desired all to be saved.
Dorothy Day
This is so rich a country that luxury has developed at the expense of necessities, and even the destitute partake of the luxury. We are the rich country of the world, like Dives at the feast. We must try hard, we must study to be poor like Lazarus at the gate, who was taken into Abraham's bosom.
Dorothy Day
It is penance to work, to give oneself to others, to endure the pinpricks of community living.
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
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
I too complain ceaselessly in my heart and in my words too. My very life is a protest. Against government, for instance.
Dorothy Day
I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'
Dorothy Day
As a child, I came across the Bible, but nobody in my family had anything to do with religion. I just felt a profound truth there that appealed to me.
Dorothy Day
