Month: July 1973

Summary: Contrasts Cesar Chabez’ stand on nonviolence with the violent tactics of the Teamster’s Union against the farm workers in California. Calls for continuing the boycott of grapes and lettuce, picketing, and demonstrations–forms of practicing voluntary poverty and “a peaceful revolution.” (The Catholic Worker, July-August 1973 DDLW #531).

Summary: “I must write about prayer because it is as necessary to life as breathing.” Enumerates several forms of prayer: reading as prayer, the psalms, scriptural prayers of faith, hope and charity, and praying for and to those who have died. (The Catholic Worker, July-August 1973, 2, 7. DDLW #532).
