I never met Dorothy Day, but did try to see her in New York when I was a student. I do know a family whose friends and relatives were heavily involved in Catholic Worker ministry in New York. They say Dorothy Day "protested as much on her knees as on her feet." My post attempted to convey that connection between prayer and listening; she also didn't believe in false dualisms -- us against them, which dualisms capture the emotions by denying rational distinctions and gradations (in a person's growth and social awareness). She was a very holy woman, but was also as smart as she was holy, which gave her so much rational balance and charity in her zeal and quest for justice.

Anyway, I wish you the best in your quest for justice.  I am sure she would walk beside you.
