More quotes by Dorothy Day
There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.
Dorothy Day
It is people who are important, not the masses.
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
Everything a baptized person does each day should be directly or indirectly related to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
Dorothy Day
A conversion is a lonely experience.
Dorothy Day
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.
Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
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 you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.
Dorothy Day
If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.
Dorothy Day
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
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
What we would like to do is change the world...by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world.
Dorothy Day
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
Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
Dorothy Day
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.
Dorothy Day
The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.
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
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
