Remembering the death date of Peter Maurin, co-founder of the Catholic Worker. Some said that he was "holier than thou." Dorothy Day said, "Peter *was* holy--holier than anyone we ever knew." May 15, 1959.

"[Peter Maurin] had a more radical idea that rather than fighting for a decent hourly wage, that people should be struggling for a world where no one is working for money in the first place." ncronline.org/news/environme… via @ncronline

Peter Maurin, Dorothy's great inspiration.

It is encouraging to learn that this holy man had a bit of an ego too (got offended when Dorothy's essays, and not just his, were published in TCW). There is hope for the rest of us.
