Dorothy Day in her own words,
By "kdlob" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dorothy Day, Selected Writings: By Little and by Little (Paperback)
Dorothy Day's life and writings challenge Christians to remember and serve the least among us. This selection of writings highlights a broad range of social, political and religious topics. In her time, Ms. Day's activism brought about much criticism and opposition. Today many remember her as America's Mother Teresa. Her purpose was to keep the Gospel alive through the challenge of service. Her voice continues to shine in the pages of this excellent collection. If you are interested in a call to social justice Dorothy Day's writings will be a source of continued inspiration.

This review is from: Dorothy Day, Selected Writings: By Little and by Little (Paperback)
Anything that Dorothy Day said or wrote is worth reading because it finds its basis in her lived experience. She is an outstanding example of a Christian who practised what the Spirit of the Lord invites us to live on hearing the Good News. Her entire life, in which her writing - whether for the Catholic Worker magazine or in her autobiographical recollections - forms an integral part, can be thus regarded as the Gospel thrown wide open. As in his presentation of Dorothy's diaries, "The Duty of Delight", in this book also Robert Ellsberg's superb selection of her words from various sources enables people today to get know this woman of faith and indomitable courage, to be deeply struck by her love and service shown towards God's "little ones" - the destitute, marginalised, suffering, poor in various situations. Her vibrant words thus electrify all who read them with hope for a better world - a hope that is realistic because she lived it undauntedly through trying and seemingly impossibly concrete circumstances, trusting always in God's transforming grace, without which mere human projects and plans are short-lived and collapse. This book offers not merely an account of facts or events in Dorothy Day's committed work for social welfare or peace through bringing about a non-violent revolution of love. Rather, it puts one in touch with the mind and heart of a great lover of humankind because in prayer above all she discovered how to encounter and listen to the God of hope.
Michael L. Gaudoin-Parker, Assisi, Italy.
