More quotes by Dorothy Day
There is something so horrifying and so sad when people are living alone. That is why the old and lonely come to us.
Dorothy Day
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.
Dorothy Day
An individual can march for peace or vote for peace and can have, perhaps, some small influence on global concerns. But the same individual is a giant in the eyes of a child at home. If peace is to be built, it must start with the individual. It is built brick by brick.
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
Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
Dorothy Day
The mystery of poverty is that by sharing in it, making ourselves poor in giving to others, we increase our knowledge of and belief in love.
Dorothy Day
Some have more capacity. Some proceed a few steps along the way. But Christ seemed to love all men. He desired all to be saved.
Dorothy Day
Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
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
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
It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
It is penance to work, to give oneself to others, to endure the pinpricks of community living.
Dorothy Day
We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.
Dorothy Day
We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.
Dorothy Day
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
Dorothy Day
The saying of Vatican II is above all, 'Conscience is supreme.'
Dorothy Day
We are all one body, we are all one.
Dorothy Day
Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.
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
