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?

Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

It is penance to work, to give oneself to others, to endure the pinpricks of community living.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

Turn off your radio. Put away ...

Turn off your radio. Put away your daily paper. Read one review of events a week and spend some time reading good books. They tell too of days of striving and of strife. They are of other centuries and also of our own. They make us realize that all times are perilous, that men live in a dangerous world, in peril constantly of losing or maiming soul and body. We get some sense of perspective reading such books. Renewed courage and faith and even joy to live.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

Paperwork, cleaning the house,...

Paperwork, cleaning the house, dealing with the innumerable visitors who come all through the day, answering the phone, keeping patience and acting intelligently, which is to find some meaning in all that happens-these things, too, are the works of peace, and often seem like a very little way.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?

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.

We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

When it comes to labor and politics, I am inclined to be sympathetic
to the left, but when it comes to the Catholic Church, then I am far to
the right.

Dorothy Day 186 quotes

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 186 quotes

Most of our life is unimportant, filled with trivial things from morning till night. But when it is transformed by love it is of interest even to the angels.

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 186 quotes

The works of mercy are the opp...

The works of mercy are the opposite of the works of war, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, nursing the sick, visiting the prisoner. But we are destroying crops, setting fire to entire villages and to the people in them. We are not performing the works of mercy but the works of war.
