No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.
Dorothy Day

It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills, than it is to keep a strong, hearty, living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him.

I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
Dorothy Day
Image
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

Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day
Image

You see I'm such a fool that I'm never afraid of appearing foolish.
Dorothy Day
Image
An individual can march for peace or vote for peace and can have, perhaps, some small influence on global concerns. But the same individual is a giant in the eyes of a child at home. If peace is to be built, it must start with the individual. It is built brick by brick.
Dorothy Day
Image
I too complain ceaselessly in my heart and in my words too. My very life is a protest. Against government, for instance.
Dorothy Day
Image
Life itself is a haphazard, untidy, messy affair.
Dorothy Day
Image
We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.
Dorothy Day
Image
Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.
Dorothy Day

A 'Dictatorship of the Proletariat' becomes again another dictator.
