Sad to report the passing of Rev. Donald Cozzens, a wise and holy priest. In his 2013 @OrbisBooks “Notes from the Underground: The Spiritual Journal of a Secular Priest” he described his growing sensation of living in an underground church, remote from the renewal of Vat II, …

April 19 2016 Cardinal Dolan signs a decree beginning the archdiocesan phase of the canonization cause of Dorothy Day. Today, Dec 8 2021 at St Patrick’s Cathedral he signs a decree marking the conclusion. Now it goes to Rome.

Behind Dorothy’s picture are some of the sealed boxes of documentation that will be sent to Rome. This process began here in Nov 1997 when Cardinal O’Connor celebrated her centenary and said he would begin a conversation about making Dorothy a saint.

Reading for fun on the left, prepping for spring classes on the right.
It feels good to have some sort of balance in life for the first time in a long while. I’m excited to dig into this book from @RobertEllsberg

After reading an article on the behavior of lemmings the master posed questions to a noted zoologist. What are the secrets of Lemming Leaders to command such loyalty? And do the Lemming Leaders always go over the cliff or can they sometimes stage a comeback? #TolstoysTalesofTrump

My reflections today on Gordon Zahn, who joined Dorothy Day in helping promote the peace message of Jesus and the rights of conscientious objectors. His book “In Solitary Witness” was responsible for recovering the story of (now) Blessed Franz Jägerstätter @GiveUsThisDayLP

Whenever I am in the Crypt Church at @MarysShrine, I think of this moment in Dorothy's life.
The Great Upper Church didn't come along until the 1950s ... so she was praying in the Crypt Church.

Today on a flight from CA I saw a man offer to switch his window seat for a crowded middle seat so two Chinese women traveling together could sit together. Respect!

I'm always grateful to my brother Brian Terrell for warning lest Dorothy Day's canonization becomes a way of domesticating her radical message. Yet his fears presume conservative American bishops will have the final word, whereas her writings speak for themselves. @OrbisBooks
"That's the way people try to dismiss you. If you're a saint, then you must be impractical and utopian, and nobody has to pay any attention to you. That kind of talk makes me sick."
If Dorothy Day is canonized, will we lose her?
