Welcome to Litsy!

"Peace... peace...our wounded hearts will be soothed. The world will be saved by beauty."

Reminds me of Fulton Sheen's quote about Broken Things.

"Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the death of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them."

[Voluntary poverty] had come to mean something much different for her than simply doing without. Now it meant to be generous -- of oneself and of one's time, talents, books, understanding, patience, and love.

Good food for thought.

The Worker was feeding and housing the unworthy poor.

The church was the community, she felt, and Mass became a time to stop and take note of the sunlight and of her fellow humans, to take a breath and feel God touching the heart and the mind.

In her book, The Long Loneliness, she writes a scene in which Forster comes to bed smelling of the cold & the sea. There is something that haunts in that image - the loss of that simple pleasure & the knowledge that it was on her mind 20 years later. 'The very love of nature & the study of her secrets,' Dorothy wrote, 'which was bringing me to faith, cut Forster off from religion.'

Why is that?

Nature became a healer for Dorothy at this time, for even though Lionel and those years of misery were past, she was still reeling from them, and Forster was the agent of this healing. He taught her how to look at the world closely, to know what she was seeing, and her writing for years afterward retained details she learned from Forster...

Excited to start this one 😊

It will be generous, if I am a #generous giver to many causes.- Stewardship prayer #dorothyday
