More quotes by Dorothy Day
Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
Dorothy Day
Paperwork, cleaning the house, dealing with the innumerable visitors who come all through the day, answering the phone, keeping patience and acting intelligently, which is to find some meaning in all that happens-these things, too, are the works of peace, and often seem like a very little way.
Dorothy Day
To love with understanding and without understanding. To love blindly, and to folly. To see only what is loveable. To think only of these things. To see the best in everyone around, their virtues rather than their faults. To see Christ in them!
Dorothy Day
Together with the works of mercy, feeding, sheltering, and clothing our brothers, we must indoctrinate.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
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
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
To me, birth control and abortion are genocide.I say, make room for children, don't do away with them.
Dorothy Day
Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action.
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
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
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
It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!
Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'
Dorothy Day
Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
Dorothy Day
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
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
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
Dorothy Day
