Robert Ellsberg, editor-in-chief of Orbis Books, joined Fr. James Martin, S.J. on "The Spiritual Life" to talk about what he learned from Dorothy Day during his time at The Catholic Worker. The conversation touches on ordinary holiness and what it looks like in practice. Of note for those with ties to Staten Island: Dorothy Day entered the Catholic Church at Our Lady Help of Christians in Tottenville. #DorothyDay #Tottenville #CatholicWorker #SpiritualLife https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFA_2Z1L-3tq0x873_jc5I9lDhuC3V9P4

#DorothyDay: "We are not expecting utopia here on this earth. But God meant things to be much easier than we have made them. A man has a natural right to food, clothing, & shelter. A certain amount of goods is necessary to lead a good life. A family needs work as well as bread." https://bit.ly/4b8cyyS

"The Eucharist is in the poor." Martha Hennessy, granddaughter of Catholic Worker Movement co-founder Dorothy Day, continues her grandmother's mission of radical Christian discipleship. Day, a candidate for sainthood, co-founded a movement that "took the Sermon on the Mount and Catholic social teaching literally" by feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless.

My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry. Learning she was baptized at my own parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, changed everything. History became personal.

Interesting analysis of Dorothy Day and G.K. Chesterton's writings on gratitude, exploring how both thinkers viewed appreciation as a starting point rather than a conclusion. The commentary examines their belief that genuine gratitude opens pathways to deeper spiritual and intellectual engagement with the world. #DorothyDay #GKChesterton #CatholicIntellectuals #Gratitude #Philosophy #SocialJustice

Russell Lawson's profile of Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker Movement traces her evolution from socialist journalist to Catholic convert, to tireless advocate for the poor. He captures Day's insistence on living out her faith through direct action: rejecting both passive spirituality and activism without spiritual foundation. #DorothyDay #CatholicSocialTeaching #SocialJustice #History

In his opinion piece, John Nichols examines when Pope Francis addressed Congress and specifically highlighted Dorothy Day—founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and a radical voice for the oppressed. Her gospel-inspired activism continues to shape conversations about poverty and economic justice today. Read more about this fascinating connection between an American radical and the pontiff's social vision. #CatholicSocialJustice #DorothyDay #PopeFrancis

The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.
While researching Tottenville, I discovered Benjamin Franklin Joline's 1950 self-published history beginning in 1668. Suddenly the street names I knew became real historical figures!

I've started listening to a biography on the famous Christian Anarchist Dorothy Day, and the way the book describes Greenwich Village in the 1910s makes me think of how people saw Moulin Rouge in the movie of the same name, as either a paradise of art and free love and open minds or a sad spectacle of sex work, shitty slums, and sleezy druggies.

New Catholic Worker org in St. Louis, would love to say hi the next time I'm in town: https://www.stlcatholicworker.org/p/about.html
After growing up "culturally Catholic" in a sense, my political evolution taught me about Dorothy Day and it's cool to see the movement alive/picking up steam. They are raising money to buy a house in St. Louis to house vulnerable people and establish their community hub: https://www.stlcatholicworker.org/2023/12/were-hoping-to-buy-house-and-we-need.html
