More quotes by Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
There is plenty to do, for each one of us, working on our own hearts, changing our own attitudes, in our own neighborhoods.
Dorothy Day
One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.
Dorothy Day
Where are the heroes and the saints, who keep a clear vision of man's greatest gift, his freedom, to oppose not only the dictatorship of the proletariat, but also the dictatorship of the benevolent state, which takes possession of the family, and of the indigent, and claims our young for war?
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
Dorothy Day
When it comes to labor and politics, I am inclined to be sympathetic to the left, but when it comes to the Catholic Church, then I am far to the right.
Dorothy Day
How can you see Christ in people? And we only say: It is an act of faith, constantly repeated. It is an act of love, resulting from an act of faith. It is an act of hope, that we can awaken these same acts in their hearts, too, with the help of God.
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
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
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
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
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
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
Dorothy Day
Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.
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
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
Dorothy Day
The saying of Vatican II is above all, 'Conscience is supreme.'
Dorothy Day
Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
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
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.
Dorothy Day
