 Dorothy Day and St. Therese of Lisieux respond to the Despair of our Time
Dorothy drew out the social implications of Therese's Little Way of love in a creative way, writing especially for those who might be tempted to be overcome by the nihilism and hopelessness of a world in which they feel powerless.
Dorothy understood that although she was raised in what would have been considered a working- or middle-class family with one servant (her father was a watchmaker and her mother made fine lace) and later lived in the Carmel, Therese's spirituality was not individualistic; she was not unaware of poverty and suffering in the world.
Dorothy had always been interested in better hagiography, in writing about the saints which was more realistic, and she achieved this task herself in writing about Therese, applying her teaching to the most challenging issues.
