More quotes by Dorothy Day

Image
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
Image
Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.
Dorothy Day
Image
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
Image
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
Image
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
Image
You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.
Dorothy Day
Image
The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.
Dorothy Day
Image
It wasn't until Castro marched triumphantly into Cuba that you might say the whole thing grew into a Marxist revolution.
Dorothy Day
Image
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?
Dorothy Day
Image
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
Image
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.
Dorothy Day
Image
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
Image
What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?
Dorothy Day
Image
The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.

The sense is always that community is natural to people.
Dorothy Day
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
Dorothy Day
Image
Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.
Dorothy Day
Image
Common sense in religion is rare, and we are too often trying to be heroic instead of just ordinarily good and kind.
