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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Ellsberg, \u003c\/b\u003epublisher of Orbis Books, worked with Dorothy Day for the last five years of her life, including two years as managing editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Worker. \u003c\/i\u003eHe has edited five previous volumes of her writings, including \u003ci\u003eSelected Writings \u003c\/i\u003e(Christopher Award Winner), her diaries (\u003ci\u003eThe Duty of Delight\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eand her selected letters (\u003ci\u003eAll the Way to Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Orbis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50878055547154,"sku":"9781626985834","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ce635cb3-a9bc-4d64-9ae4-81d2ba96d20a.jpg?v=1738204461","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dorothy-day-spiritual-writings-9781626985834","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
