Thought of the Week
“An act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself of some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all.”
—Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement, was born in Brooklyn, New York, November 8, 1897. Day eventually moved to Chicago where she began to be drawn to the Catholic faith and felt the need to alleviate the plight of the urban poor. Eventually, she converted to Catholicism and devoted her life to radically changing the unjust social order.
