Dorothy Day Guild looking for miracles

I mentioned back in September that the Archdiocese of New York was thinking about putting Dorothy Day up for canonization. This week I got some mail from the newly formed Dorothy Day Guild: it's on. I'd happily link you to the Guild's website but they haven't got one; how they expect to do this without a Web presence I don't know, two millennia of saint-making sans modems notwithstanding. Anyway, the Guild is working to spread awareness of Day's life, work and writings and, of course, collecting stories of any miracles that may happen through her intervention. One for "Blessed;" two for sainthood.

This prayer for Dorothy Day's intercession is by Monsignor Kevin Sullivan of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York.

God our Creator,
your servant Dorothy Day exemplified the Catholic faith by her conversion,
life of prayer and voluntary poverty,
works of mercy, and
witness to the justice and peace of the Gospel.

May her life inspire people to turn to Christ as their Savior and guide,
to see his face in the world's poor and
to raise their voices for the justice of God's kingdom.

We pray that you grant the favors we ask
through her intercession so that her goodness
and holiness may be more widely recognized
and one day the Church may
proclaim her saint.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
