| Description: |
Dorothy Day (1897-1980) the well-known American journalist, activist, and Catholic convert whose cause for sainthood has been endorsed by the US bishops wrote numerous articles over a period of several decades for the prominent lay Catholic magazine Commonweal. Hold Nothing Back is gleaned from those writings. It includes reflections on her life as a single mother, her time in jail for civil disobedience, her struggles to keep afloat the Catholic Worker movement she co-founded, and her travels on crowded buses to report from the front lines about labor disputes, racial inequality, and poverty. At the heart of whatever Day wrote lies a profound and prophetic faith.
"In these times when social concerns are so important, I cannot fail to mention Dorothy Day. Her social activism, her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed, were inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints."
--Pope Francis to U.S. Congress |
