On Pilgrimage

This book is a reprint of Day's 1948 "Catholic Worker" writings in her column "On Pilgrimage." It is the usual mishmash of her slanted personal anecdotes, fuzzy theological thinking, and Marxist apologia and language.

This book, a journal of one year in Dorothy Day's life (1948), is so incredibly beautiful and powerful. Day's spirituality, her deep sense of the sacred in all that she touched, her understanding of the lay apostolate, and of the dignity of marriage comes shining through in these pages.

I would suggest this as the third book by Dorothy Day that you read-- after "loaves and fishes" and "long lonliness", however, the introduction to this book justifies the purchase for anyone. The introduction is lengthy (over 25 pages), and is written by two people that know the movement (they run Casa Juan is Houston).
