Description:This volume invites you to make a retreat with Oscar Romero and Dorothy Day, Catholics who believed passionately in the dignity of every human being and who confronted the roots of injustice and violence in the worlds where God placed them.-----------------------------------------This retreat series offers you the opportunity to make a retreat with some great saint or holy person from history. Among the retreat directors you will find such saints as Ignatius and Dominic, Francis and Clare of Assisi, and outstanding contemporary figures such as Thomas Merton and Jessica Powers. Under the guidance of series editor Gloria Hutchinson, some favorite authors weave the mentor's own words into seven days of prayer and deepening acquaintance. Each retreat closes with suggestions for continuing the relationship. Your directors for this retreat, Walking With the Poor, are Oscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador in El Salvador, and Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker Movement. Both mentors believed passionately in the dignity of every human being. Both pursued the roots of injustice and violence and confronted the powerful in Church and state. Both opened their eyes to see the reality of poverty and allowed that sight to change their lives. Both experienced the importance of community in support of the discipleship journey. Their journeys suggest to us that when life is seen through the eyes of poor people and lived in response to that vision, a deep, rich spirituality and serious engagement in social transformation result. By their efforts they became examples to all of us of gospel faithfulness in our times. Series editor GLORIA HUTCHINSON has written extensively on the spiritual life.
