I’m so happy to come upon this post. It inspired me to take out my copy of Loaves and Fishes. The first thing I noticed was a passage in which Day writes about Peter Maurin’s insistence that “works of mercy are the most direct form of action there is.” She goes on to point out that Maurin also insisted that “the truth needs to be restated every twenty years.” I’m sure more often than that…Thanks for restating Day and Maurin’s important truths, thanks for celebrating the Catholic Worker and reminding me of their good work. Thanks for fostering community.

We had a tradition in rural Illinois of putting a tiny basket of spring flowers on someone’s porch, knocking on the door, hiding in the bushes, and calling out “May basket!” when they came to the door.
“and that love comes with community.” There is soooo little community in the world and I am not sure why.
