A twentieth-century Catholic activist, founder of the Catholic Worker movement and its newspaper, The Catholic Worker, and candidate for Sainthood are just a few descriptions of Dorothy Day. In this volume, Phyllis Zagano has compiled and arranged long and short selections from Dorothy Day"s own writings which reflect her gospel-based spirituality. In addition, Dorothy Day: In My Own Words is illustrated with photographs from every stage of Dorothy Day"s adult life. The corporal and spiritual works of mercy are an underlying theme.
