This episode connects with Issue IV of The Margins, God in the Gutters, available now. Dorothy Day was a journalist, anarchist, Catholic convert, founder of the Catholic Worker—and perhaps the only saint to ever land on an FBI watchlist. In this episode, we look at Dorothy through the lens of mysticism: a transformative awareness of God’s presence that increases our love of God and neighbor. For Dorothy, that awareness became prayer, hospitality, protest, breadlines, and a life spent finding Christ among the poor.
