"Servant of God Dorothy Day is having a real cultural moment, as even secular publications like The New Yorker and The New York Times are writing about her fascinating life. . . .
"Day wrote extensively during her life, including several books, and she founded the Catholic Worker newspaper. Among her books is a biography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, which I've been reading with my book club.
"You
would think, given the book, that Day was a big fan of St. Thérèse, and
indeed she was. But it didn't start out that way. Quite the opposite,
in fact!"
In
a recent commentary, writer Theresa Civantos Barber reflected on Dorothy Day's transition to loving St. Thérèse's little way.
