The Catholic Worker Movement is Built on the Works of Mercy
“A day never passed without Dorothy speaking of the works of mercy:
feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, giving
shelter to the homeless, caring for sick, visiting prisoners, burying the dead,
admonishing the sinner, instructing the ignorant, counseling the doubtful,
comforting the sorrowful, bearing wrongs patiently, forgiving all injuries,
praying for the living and the dead. She helped us understand a merciful life
has many levels: there is hunger not only for food but also for faith, not only
for a place at the table but also for a real welcome, not only for assistance
but also for listening, not only for kind words but also for truthful words.
There is not only hospitality of the door but also hospitality of the face and
heart. As she said, We are here to celebrate Him through these works of
mercy.” -Jim Forest (Dorothy Day Saint and Troublemaker. Canticle Magazine (Winter, 1998))
What better way to celebrate The Year of Mercy than to learn about Dorothy
Day and help out at the Catholic Worker?
