A new academic paper seeks to shed light on the connection between the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and the very public social activism of Dorothy Day. In his master’s thesis, Noel E. Bordador of Nazareth House (Meycauyan, Philippines) proposes that Day saw the Little Way as a path to inner spiritual transformation and social change. “Day’s anarchist Catholic Worker houses of hospitality are but a concrete expression of her vision of decentralized and distributist communities of love which, she believed, find consonance with the spirituality of the Thérèsian Little Way,” Bordador writes.
