Dympna Mallon – Love is the Answer: Embodied Spirituality of Dorothy Day

Dympna Mallon of the Margaret Aylward Retreat Centre,  introduced us to the story of Dorothy Day (1897-1980). Dympna offered her reflections on this inspiring woman who was an American journalist and Roman Catholic reformer, cofounder of the Catholic Worker newspaper, and an important lay leader in its associated activist movement in the USA.

The Catholic Church has opened the cause for Day’s possible canonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. For that reason, the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.

Thanks to Dympna for this most engaging story and for highlighting the courage of this fearless human rights campaigner, Dorothy Day, as well as the challenges such a life sets before us.
