Host: Johnnette Benkovic Williams
WOMEN OF GRACE host Johnnette Williams thinks that Dorothy Day is one of the most important lay Catholics of the twentieth century. She feels that anyone who has followed WOMEN OF GRACE studies needs to add a new book by Terrence Wright to their reading list. Johnnette talks with Terrence Wright about his introduction to the life and thought of Dorothy Day.

He presents her radical response to God's mercy. After a period of darkness and sin, which included an abortion and a suicide attempt, Day had a profound awakening to God's unlimited love and mercy through the birth of her daughter. After her conversion, Day answered the calling to bring God's mercy to others. Dedicated to both the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy, she established Houses of Hospitality, Catholic Worker Farms, and the Catholic Worker newspaper.
