The slow work of God’s kingdom

11.24.2021

Daily Grace

Dorothy Day modeled lifelong hard work rooted in God’s love and freedom. Co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, servant of the poor, speaker of truth, and a radical advocate of peace, Day’s life combined tremendous passion to engage and change the world for the sake of the Gospel with a healthy perspective that such work would never really be over.

In House of Hospitality by Dorothy Day and Timothy D. Dolan, Day writes: “I must see the large and generous picture of a new social order wherein justice dwelleth. I must hold always in mind the new earth where God’s Will be done as it is in heaven. I must hold it in mind for my own courage and for yours.” She adds, “we are never going to be finished.”

This excerpt is from the Bible study “Slow Faith” by Liv Larson Andrews in the November 2015 Gather Magazine. Today we commemorate Justus Falckner, 1723; Jehu Jones, 1852 and William Passavant, 1894, all pastors in North America.
