This collection of her final columns illustrates her signature effort to balance three impulses: direct service of the poor; protest against the system that causes so much poverty and injustice; and an appeal to the possibility of a new society, animated by new values. Even as she aged, her last years were marked by her final protests and arrests, the opening of a shelter for homeless women, and the slow culmination of her earthly \"pilgrimage.\" These writings, the last testament of a life of faith, service, activism, point toward a new saintliness for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Living \/ Social Issues \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRELIGION \/ Christianity \/ Catholic \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRELIGION \/ Meditations \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCover design: Ponie Sheehan \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCover photo: Bob Fitch \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e978-1-62698-459-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDorothy Day\u003c\/strong\u003e (1897-1980), whose cause for canonization is in process, was the co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement.
