Quote of the Day

“I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.”

--Servant of God Dorothy Day

Hailed as a "prophetic figure" in the story of the Stateside church, today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Day -- the much-celebrated convert and mother of the Catholic Worker movement -- whose cause for beatification was opened in 2000.

Then again, as she once said in life on the topic, "Don't call me a saint -- I don't want to be dismissed so easily."
