“A Woman’s Prayer” is a
selection from Dorothy
Day’s autobiography From
Union Square to Rome,
which illustrates that
ordinary people can achieve
contemplative prayer and
that material possessions
don’t bring satisfaction.

Dorothy Day was an atheist

who converted to the
Catholicism. She co-
founded the Catholic Worker
Movement.
The poem “His Cleric’s Eye” is
a meditation and prayer about
a priest who was too cerebral
and not involved in people’s
lives.

Daniel Berrigan, S.J. is a
