Art, Hospitality, and Activism
As Dorothy was fond of quoting, "The world will be saved by beauty!" This webinar features a conversation with Catholic Worker artists Becky McIntyre, Sarah Fuller, and Rachel Mills, all linocut printmakers whose work follows in the rich tradition of Ade Bethune, Fritz Eichenberg, and Rita Corbin. Learn how each of these artists puts her skill and creative talents in service to the common good, and how the pursuit of beauty joins the work of caring for the poor and advocating for justice to build a new society in the shell of the old.

Dorothy Day and the Radical Vocation of a Journalist
Переглядів 2268 місяців тому
The eighth annual Dorothy Day lecture at Manhattan College, co-sponsored by the Dorothy Day Guild, took place on March 29th, 2022. Dorothy's vocation as a journalist predates her conversion to Catholicism and her founding of the Catholic Worker movement. After her conversion, Dorothy came to understand journalism as holy work, a spiritual work of mercy that required courage, boots on the ground...

An international webinar co-sponsored by the Dorothy Day Guild, featuring Noel E. Bordador of Nazareth House in the Philippines, Anne Dowling of Dorothy Day House in Australia, Gerard Moorman of Jeanette Noëlhuis in the Netherlands, and Henry Simonin of Le Dorothy in France. This conversation, which took place on the 72nd anniversary of Peter Maurin's death, on May 15th, 2021 is moderated by Do...
A Saint for Our Time
Переглядів 6510 місяців тому
Dorothy knew herself to be surrounded by saints, both the official saints of the Church, and the humble, hidden figures like Mrs. Barrett, her childhood neighbor, whose intimate awareness of God’s presence awed Day as a girl. Thérèse herself was once one of those hidden, holy people. In Thérèse ’s lifetime, those closest to her- Leonie, Pauline, Marie, and Celine- were perhaps the only people w...
A Doctor of the Church
Переглядів 3610 місяців тому
In our time, St. Thérèse is known as a doctor of the Church, but even prior to this official pronunciation, Dorothy, like many others, had a sense that Thérèse had something to teach the Church, that her life’s work offered a new way of hewing to the Gospel. Thérèse taught many people during her lifetime as well as after her death, and Dorothy was perhaps one of her most apt and perceptive stud...
Labor and Illness
Переглядів 3210 місяців тому
Dorothy’s consistent interest in presenting the life of Thérèse to her readers is to offer an image of the young Carmelite saint as a woman of the people, as a working woman. One of the significant tasks in a community committed to caring for each member until the end of her life is the work of running the infirmary, and at the age of nineteen, Thérèse, like Dorothy, worked as a nurse during an...
The Transition to Carmel
Переглядів 4310 місяців тому
Thérèse recognized the clarity of her vocation as itself a gift, but does not mean that entering into the life of the Lisieux Carmel was a smooth transition, or that the community immediately knew what to do with their newest member. Dorothy’s background as a movement journalist as well as more than two decades living in community at the Catholic Worker gave her a strong appreciation for inter-...
The Primacy of Conscience
Переглядів 3310 місяців тому
As an anarchist and pacifist Catholic, the primacy of conscience as a moral authority was a foundational principle for Dorothy. She sees Thérèse of Lisieux as an exemplar of following one's conscience even in difficult situations. In her own time, Dorothy emphasized the importance of forming our consciences on matters of armed violence and capital punishment, leading the way for the eventual re...
Vocation
Переглядів 1710 місяців тому
When we read what Day writes on the vocation of St. Thérèse to cloistered religious life, we can also read between the lines to see Day continuing to work out her own calling as a laywoman in the world. Elsewhere in her writings, Day frequently returns to the work of the lay apostolate as a subject for reflection and exhortation. The affairs of this world are the responsibility of the laity. Fo...
Mental Illness
Переглядів 3410 місяців тому
In the Catholic Worker movement, Dorothy Day spent her life surrounded by community members who dealt with mental illness and psychological disabilities. We can imagine a saint who serves, and even lives with those who are mentally ill, but it is perhaps harder to imagine a saint who herself suffered from mental illness. And yet, this is exactly what Day offers us in Thérèse: a saint whose embr...
Longing For Love
Переглядів 1710 місяців тому
Thérèse, like Dorothy herself, intensely desired love, intimacy, and communion with another being. Both women shared the experience of loving deeply, but ultimately being unsatisfied by the good things of this world, including nature, art, and human relationships. When Day speaks of her own conversion, she is describing a continuing decision to unite herself to the Creator and source of all of ...
Political Tensions and Gospel Nonviolence
Переглядів 4010 місяців тому
St. Thérèse was born into a world of intense social and political conflict, much like the world of Dorothy's time and of our own. What does it mean to practice the Little Way in the post-nuclear ear? What does it mean to create a world “where it is easier to be good”? The spirituality of St. Thérèse is a foundation for the Catholic Worker praxis which combines the traditional works of mercy wit...
Rejection and Redemption
Переглядів 3010 місяців тому
Dorothy Day traces a Good Friday to Easter Sunday narrative arc through the lives of St. Thérèse and the other members of the Martin family. Likely noticing parallels with her own life and the founding of the Catholic Worker movement, Day suggests that experiences of rejection and apparent failure often open space in our lives for God to call us into our most authentic vocation.
Holiness, Gender, and Embodiment
Переглядів 5010 місяців тому
Women's embodied experiences are a source of theological insight for both Dorothy Day and St. Thérèse. In this lecture, we discuss women's experiences of childbirth, work, and illness as sites of suffering, joy, and graced encounters with God. Read Dorothy's essay on the birth of her daughter, "Having a Baby" here: catholicworker.org/583-html/
