Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Prophets, by definition, make us uncomfortable.Their acute insight into the pitfalls of human society, and their incessant clarion calls to justice, make us squirm in our comfortable pews.Dorothy Day , the prickly American prophetess who, along with Peter Maurin, founded the Catholic Worker movement, elicited, for many, this experience of prophetic discomfort.It is into this uneasy space that Patrick Jordan ventures with his pocket biography, Dorothy Day: Love in Action.Jordan is well-placed to write such a biography -he lived and worked with Day during the last 12 years of her life.His writing is steeped in the ethos of the Catholic Worker and filled with stories of direct encounters with the force for good that was Dorothy Day.Perhaps in honour of Day's own journalistic background, the biography adopts a newsy and accessible style that will engage a broad readership.For those unfamiliar with Dorothy Day, it will serve as a gateway into the life of this remarkable woman.For those who already know her well, this biography provides a depth of insight into her psychological and spiritual life that only a friend could provide.All this is done without falling into the trap of hagiography, respecting the paradoxical and complex nature of Dorothy's personality.Jordan's contribution is part of Liturgical Press's People of God series, which aims to provide "inspiring biographies for the general reader" (according to https://www.litpress.org/Category/S-POG/People-of-God).As such, it is not meant to be a scholarly text.The author's familiarity with English literature nevertheless seeps through; for example, Day's own life is reflected in light of the writings of George Eliot, among others.Careful use is also made of Dorothy's own writings (both personal and published) and commentaries from others who knew her well.Love in Action works as a psychological and spiritual memoir of Day.It begins with an overview of her personality and many conflicting traits.Fiery and reserved, sensual and pious, angry and humble, compassionate and short-tempered, the list of her characteristics portrays a very human saint, full of paradox and passionate love for God and for God's most vulnerable people.Jordan then continues with a brief chronology of what he calls "Dorothy's peripatetic life" (p.13).This section reveals a woman responding to her times, impacted by such diverse events as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, two World Wars, the Great Depression, Vatican II, and the Vietnam War.Once these basics are covered, Jordan then moves into more thematic reflections on Dorothy Day's life -her morality and radicalism, her conversion experiences, her guiding principles and personalism, her relationship with the Roman Catholic Church and her voluntary poverty, her struggles with depression and her hard-won ability to embrace delight.Each well-crafted segment serves to whet the appetite for a more in-depth study.The volume unavoidably suffers from its brevity.As much is said by what is left out about Day's life as by what is included.For example, very little is revealed about her family

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
