More quotes by Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.
Dorothy Day
I cannot worry much about your sins and miseries when I have so many of my own. I can only love you all, poor fellow travellers, fellow sufferers. I do not want to add one least straw to the burden you already carry.
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
If you are rushed for time, sow time and you will reap time. Go to church and spend a quiet hour in prayer. You will have more time than ever and your work will get done. Sow time with the poor. Sit and listen to them, give them your time lavishly. You will reap time a hundredfold.
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
There is something so horrifying and so sad when people are living alone. That is why the old and lonely come to us.
Dorothy Day
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.
Dorothy Day
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
Dorothy Day
Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.
Dorothy Day
The mystery of poverty is that by sharing in it, making ourselves poor in giving to others, we increase our knowledge of and belief in love.
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
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
We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.
Dorothy Day
No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.
Dorothy Day
Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life.
Dorothy Day
Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
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
It is we ourselves that we have to think about, no one else. That is the way the saints worked. They paid attention to what they were doing, and if others were attracted to them by their enterprise, why, well and good. But they looked to themselves first of all.
Dorothy Day
