More quotes by 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
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
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
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
There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.
Dorothy Day
One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.
Dorothy Day
We must recognize the fact that many Nazis, Marxists and Fascists believe passionately in their fundamental rightness, and allow nothing to hinder them from their goal in the pursuit of their mission.
Dorothy Day
I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
Dorothy Day
To feed the hungry, clothe the naked and shelter the harborless without also trying to change the social order so that people can feed, clothe and shelter themselves is just to apply palliatives. It is to show a lack of faith in one’s fellows, their responsibilitie s as children of God, heirs of heaven.
Dorothy Day
Don't call me a saint I don't want to be dismissed so easily.
Dorothy Day
Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.
Dorothy Day
If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens.
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
Castro wasn't a Marxist. He was a Catholic educated by the Christian Brothers and the Jesuits. But fundamentally, I'm not talking about practising Catholics, but rather about something which is inbred that is, a part of your country, your heritage, your life.
Dorothy Day
Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
Dorothy Day
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
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
Women think with their whole bodies
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
