More quotes by Dorothy Day
Together with the works of mercy, feeding, sheltering, and clothing our brothers, we must indoctrinate.
Dorothy Day
When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.
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 certainly can try to grow in love, and it is good practice, this giving what we've got, whether it is a cup of coffee or money to pay the grocery bill.
Dorothy Day
What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do.
Dorothy Day
If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens.
Dorothy Day
I do not know how to love God except by loving the poor. I do not know how to serve God except by serving the poor.... Here, within this great city of nine million people, we must, in this neighborhood, on this street, in this parish, regain a sense of community which is the basis for peace in the world.
Dorothy Day
Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.
Dorothy Day
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
I can write no other than this: unless we use the weapons of the spirit, denying ourselves and taking up our cross and following Jesus, dying with Him and rising with Him, men will go on fighting, and often from the highest motives, believing that they are fighting defensive wars for justice and in self-defense against present or future aggression.
Dorothy Day
Don't call me a saint I don't want to be dismissed so easily.
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
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
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
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
We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.
Dorothy Day
It is people who are important, not the masses.
Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
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
