Description
Dorothy Day's diaries offer a unique and intimate portrait of her life, revealing her struggles and concerns over nearly fifty years. From 1934 to 1980, these diaries reflect her response to the vast changes in America, the Church, and the wider world. Day's story is one of faithful striving for holiness and the radical transformation of the world. Through her tireless service to the poor and her courageous witness for peace, she embodied the gospel in action. This collection of diaries provides a glimpse into her daily life, including her relationships with her extended Catholic worker family, her struggles to be more patient and charitable, and her discipline of prayer and worship. By reading Day's diaries, readers can gain insight into her remarkable life and be challenged to imagine what it would be like to live as if the gospels were true.
