We're so grateful for this experience of prayer, reflection, and celebration in community. For all who traveled to Indy this past week, we pray that the deep love of Christ in the Eucharist ignites within you a fire for justice and for peace just as it did for Dorothy.
Today is the 45th anniversary of Dorothy Day’s death. An American Catholic, Servant of God Dorothy Day is known for co-founding the Catholic Worker Movement and for her care for the poor and most vulnerable. In his speech to Congress in 2015, Pope Francis identified Day as one of four Americans he particularly admired due to “her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed” which was “inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.” In light of Pope Leo XIV’s call for love of the poor in Dilexi Te, let us follow in Dorothy Day’s example.
“Those who cannot see Christ in the poor are atheists indeed. ” Today is the 45th anniversary of the death of Servant of God Dorothy Day, the American-born co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement.

On behalf of the @DayGuild and @ManhattanEdu Dorothy Day center, we led an hour of the prayer vigil marking the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings. Was joined by my son Finn,
@sscjusa She actually wasn't present that day, and admits she liked a more formal mass where possible, but also says "And yet–and yet–perhaps it happened to remind us that the power of God did not rest on all these appurtenances with which we surround it."
Had a prayerful few hours today in Dorothy Day’s bedroom working on our preservation project sponsored by the @DayGuild and @ManhattanEdu. Thanks be to God for this amazing life and witness.
On this feast of #allsaints I’m grateful for the opportunity to engage in the cause for sainthood of Dorothy Day @DayGuild and excited to have our upcoming annual lecture next week at @ManhattanEdu featuring the new illustrated of Dorothy from @PAULISTPRESS@CauseSanti@NY_Arch
