Thanks Dean for pointing out these videos about Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980), Catholic activist for Jesus in pre and post-war New York City.

I had never heard of Day until pointed her way by TSK’s post- here. He suggested that we would re-discover her work as the next period unfolds– and even if he ‘makes it so’ by mentioning her in this way, then her life and work is well worth further study. Voluntary poverty, living a life of service, non-violent activism. Gentle deep Spirituality- did we not know of her because we Protestants have had a blind spot to all things Catholic?

Let her speak for herself, below. See past the dated clothing and presentation, and remember that this lady was born 112 years ago…
