Through her houses of hospitality, the practice of the works of mercy, and her prophetic work for peace and justice, she offered a radical witness to the gospel in action. But it was as much in her everyday life as in her public activities that she expressed her spirituality and found her path to holiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This anthology explores the key themes that underlay her spirituality, beginning with the call to see Christ in the poor. Day's spirituality was deeply influenced by the \"Little Way\" of St. Th?r?se of Lisieux, which showed the path to holiness in the daily exercise of patience, charity, and forgiveness. Dorothy extended this principle to the social dimension, the significance of the little protests we make or fail to make. She believed that each act of love, each witness for peace, increases the balance of love and peace in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$24.00\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Spirituality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christianity \/ Catholic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBIOGRAPHY \u0026amp; AUTOBIOGRAPHY \/ Religious\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMODERN SPIRITUAL MASTERS SERIES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDOROTHY DAY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpiritual Writings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected with an Introduction by Robert Ellsberg\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 978-1-62698-583-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhoto: Milwaukee Sentinel. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover design: Michael Calvente\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDorothy Day\u003c\/strong\u003e, co-founder of the Catholic Worker, has been called \"the church's least likely yet most plausible saint.\" In this early autobiographical work (originally published in 1938), Day offered the first account of her dramatic conversion, a story later expanded in her classic autobiography, The Long Loneliness. In this concise and passionate work her purpose was more specific: to give an account to her former comrades in the radical movement of the steps that led to her to embrace Christ and the Catholic Church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Ellsberg \u003c\/strong\u003eis the publisher and editor-in-chief Orbis Books.
