Thanks to Kirstin’s blog post, I’ve been thinking about Dorothy Day again.  Man, I love that woman.  Back when I was a more active Catholic Worker, I would read her writings and just ponder what she put forth.  Dorothy had an uncanny way of talking about the exact issues that tear me apart sometimes— what are we suppose to do for the poor?  What about when people are crappy and mistreat you?  What about when you are tired?  How do we avoid war?  How does one small person stand up against injustice?  What did Jesus mean by….

Me and Dorothy need to get together to pray sometimes.  Here she is talking about St Theresa’s “Little Way”.  Yeah, I think I need to meditate with Dorothy a little more and maybe I can figure it all out.

“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.”
