More quotes by Dorothy Day
If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens.
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.
Dorothy Day
Don't call me a saint I don't want to be dismissed so easily.
Dorothy Day
Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
Dorothy Day
With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!
Dorothy Day
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.
Dorothy Day
If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.
Dorothy Day
I think anarchy is natural to the Catholic. The Church is pretty anarchistic, you know. Who pays attention to the Pope or the Cardinals?
Dorothy Day
We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.
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
Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.
Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
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
Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.
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
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
The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.
Dorothy Day
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
Dorothy Day
The only way to live in any true security is to live so close to the bottom that when you fall you do not have far to drop, you do not have much to lose.
Dorothy Day
