✨HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY✨

✨HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY✨

💬Tell us in the comments... What Catholic women inspire you and why?

🕊️ We'll start with Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and the embodiment of what it means to live out the call to Catholic justice and peace.

She was a woman deeply committed to sharing her understanding of God’s love with the world. Her work emerged from a commitment grounded in Catholic liturgy, characterised by charity and advocacy. Day’s commitment to amplifying her voice, as well as those surrounding her, was clear in her writing and ministry. Day lived out her reading of scripture by digging at the heels of injustice through peaceful protest and demonstrating her compassion and her refusal to be silenced. Though gentle in her treatment of others, there was nothing gentle about her advocacy for change. May her words inspire us to be agents of God's love, justice and peace in the world:

"What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended them to do. And by fighting for better conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, the poor, of the destitute - the rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor, in other words - we can, to a certain extent, change the world."
