It is a penance to work, to give oneself to others, to ensure the pinpricks of community living....So let us rejoice in our own petty sufferings and thank God we have a little penance to offer in this holy season.  'An injury to one is an injury to all,' the Industrial Workers of the World proclaimed. So an act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself to some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all.

#the way she's like #it makes me so sad I have to live in this dumb house with all this other people #while my friend chuck is in misery on hunger strike in jail for draft dodging #i wish I could be him but instead I guess its bad enough to feel sorry for him and put up with these bozos #catholic worker #dorothy day

Dorothy Day, born today, November 8th, was an American journalist and social activist who co-founded the Catholic Worker Movement in the early 1930s. This portrait is located in the First Street Community Garden, in NYC.

On November 4th, 2022, the newest vessel in the Staten Island Ferry fleet was named for her, and will enter service in the coming weeks. Day lived on Staten Island for several decades.

Interestingly the quote in the portrait above that reads “All of our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system”, although probably her most famous, may never have been said by her. For more on that debate, this article is pretty informative.

Patrick Henry: How Dorothy Day found her calling while fighting the 1918 flu pandemic

Dorothy Day’s nine months as a nurse at the height of a pandemic that killed 50 million people, deepened her commitment to the poor, homeless and abandoned. Dorothy Day, at age 19 in 1916. . In 1917, having dropped out of college and moved to New York with her family, Dorothy Day took her first New York job, with a daily Socialist news paper, The Call, and settled into her own one-room…

White Shroud (pt I) // Allen Ginsberg

I am summoned from my bed To the Great City of the Dead Where I have no house or home But in dreams may sometime roam Looking for my ancient room A feeling in my heart of doom, Where Grandmother ag ed lies In her couch of later days And my mother saner than I Laughs and cries She's still alive. I found myself again in the Great Eastern Metropolis, wandering under Elevated Transport's iron struts - many-windowed apartments walled the crowded Bronx road-way under old theater roofs, masses of poor women shopping in black shawls past candy store news stands, children skipped beside grandfathers bent tottering on their canes. I'd descended to this same street from blackened subways Sundays long ago, tea and lox with my aunt and dentist cousin when I was ten. The living pacifist David Dellinger walked at my right side, he'd driven from Vermont to visit Catholic Worker Tivoli Farm, we rode up North Manhattan in his car, relieved the U.S. wars were over in the newspaper, Television's frenzied dance of dots & shadows calmed - Now older than our shouts and banners, we explored brick avenues we lived in to find new residences, rent loft offices or roomy apartments, retire our eyes & ears & thoughts. Surprised, I passed the open Chamber where my Russian Jewish Grandmother lay in her bed and sighed eating a little Chicken soup or borsht, potato lotkes, crumbs on her blankets, talking Yiddish, complaining solitude abandoned in Old Folks House.

Blessed is the aging activist,

Old beyond repair.

Planting trees they will not see the shade of.

Holding what was there.

Beloved is the old ecologist,

Seeds saved for me.

Taking time to tell the story,

Lineage braided into beads.

Beautiful is the old AIM sailor,

Ghost dance at Alcatraz.

Carving trails before we walked the way,

Tying future into past.

Blessed is the old abortionist,

Self trained nurse Jane.

Changing course of shifting rivers.

She held us through the pain.

Beloved is the Catholic worker

His Blood on atom bomb,

Knowing above, below, are together,

And that heaven is earth-to-come.

Beautiful is the old musician,

Protest song on tongue,

Taking the time to tell the story,

Of what has and will come.

Left side: In clockwise order from the top left, Dorothy Day (Catholic Worker Movement), Daniel Berrigan (Anti-Vietnam War/Ploughshares Movement/Peace activist, imprisoned for draft resistance activities), Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Anti-German government from 1933-1945, when he was murdered by that same German government), and Oscar Romero (now a saint, human rights and social reform advocate in El Salvador (Liberation Theology adjacent), murdered with the approval of the CIA in 1981). And then MLK.

Right side: Christofascists you are probably very familiar with. The least persecuted people ever crying the loudest that they are being repressed. Fuck 'em all.

It's weird to think my dad knew Daniel Berrigan (fairly well, they were in the Jesuits at the same time and Berrigan influenced him to become a CO during Vietnam, though his draft number was never called (he ripped up his draft card when he received it, kept half of it in his wallet for a long time, I think it's now somewhere in his office)) and Dorothy Day (through folks who had been with CW for a long time, he said she was great but the way some Catholic Worker folks revered her was a little culty, and this was in 1960s-1970s San Francisco, where most things were a little culty to begin with) along with several people who knew Romero and Merton (not featured here but Thomas Merton is tops). Small world, I guess.

Let us be honest, let us say that fundamentally, the stand we are taking is not on the ground of wages and hours and conditions or labor, but on the fundamental truth that men should be treated not as chattels but as human beings, as 'temples of the Holy Ghost.'

Dorothy Day in The Catholic Worker writing on their support of workers strikes in 1936

MERCY WORKER MOVIE

Description

"Mother Teresa and Me” tells the story of Kavita, a young woman who finds herself with an unexpected pregnancy. Battling whether or not to get an abortion, she returns to her hometown in India where her now very old nanny shares the story of Mother Teresa’s first days working in the streets of Calcutta. Learning how Mother Teresa faced many doubts after no longer being able to hear the voice of Jesus, Kavita is inspired.

I highly encourage reading the whole article! I'M SO EXCITED!!
