More quotes by Dorothy Day
Women think with their whole bodies
Dorothy Day
The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.
Dorothy Day
It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.
Dorothy Day
We believe in loving our brothers regardless of race, color or creed and we believe in showing this love by working for better conditions immediately and the ultimate owning by the workers of their means of production.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
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
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
What we would like to do is change the world...by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world.
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
No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.
Dorothy Day
When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.
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
You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.
Dorothy Day
Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?
Dorothy Day
Together with the works of mercy, feeding, sheltering, and clothing our brothers, we must indoctrinate.
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
Dorothy Day
When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.
Dorothy Day
The holy man was the whole man, the man of integrity, who not only tried to change the world, but to live in it as it was.
Dorothy Day
