After a period of darkness and sin, which included an abortion and a suicide attempt, Day had a profound awakening to God's unlimited love and mercy through the birth of her daughter. After her conversion, Day answered the calling to bring God's mercy to others. With Peter Maurin, she founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933. Dedicated to both the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy, they established Houses of Hospitality, Catholic Worker Farms, and the Catholic Worker newspaper. Drawing heavily from Day's own writings, this book reveals her love for Scripture, the sacraments, and the magisterial teaching of the Church. The author explores her philosophy and spirituality, including her devotion to Saints Francis, Benedict, and TheÌreÌse. He also shows how her understanding of the Mystical Body of Christ led to some of her more controversial positions such as pacifism. Since her death in 1980, Day continues to serve as a model of Christian love and commitment. She recognized Christ in the less fortunate and understood that to be a servant of these least among us is to be a servant of God. -- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Day, Dorothy, $d 1897-1980. 600 17 $a Day, Dorothy, $d 1897-1980. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00011924 650 0 $a Catholics $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Catholic Worker Movement. 650 7 $a Catholic Worker Movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849136 650 7 $a Catholics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849297 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041648.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926100516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A650EE86E02711E98EBD524297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IOLInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
