Quote

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.

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
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
Image
I do not know how to love God except by loving the poor. I do not know how to serve God except by serving the poor.... Here, within this great city of nine million people, we must, in this neighborhood, on this street, in this parish, regain a sense of community which is the basis for peace in the world.

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 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.

Image
I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
Image
We believe in loving our brothers regardless of race, color or creed and we believe in showing this love by working for better conditions immediately and the ultimate owning by the workers of their means of production.
Dorothy Day
Image
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!

When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.
Dorothy Day
Image
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
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
There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.
Dorothy Day
Image
If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.
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
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.
