Abstract
This paper explains that Catholic Worker Movement leader Dorothy Day and St. Augustine may be separated by years, but they are brother and sister in their joy and passion for life, for God, and for serving their Lord to the best of their abilities. The paper relates that Day question God throughout her life but found the answers in her work, in her strong commitment, and her relationship with God. The author believes that while Dorothy Day has not been raised to sainthood by the Church, she is certainly a saint in her own right and deserves a place beside St. Augustine.

From the Paper
"By sharing their writings and really their souls with their readers, both Day and St. Augustine not only show their beliefs they are actually perpetuating them. Those who read their stories cannot help but be touched by these devout people and the path they chose to worship and share their worship. They are more than believers; they are doers, for they dedicated their lives to following the path of God, and leading others down that path to joy and salvation. One of the things that really stand out in their wittings is their passion and commitment to what they are doing, and their passion and commitment in life. As they share their joy with others, they not only transform others' lives, they transform their own, and that is one of the things that helps their stories ring so true, and become so influential in the eyes of readers."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the lives, passions and destinies of Dorothy Day, who co-founded the Catholic Worker Movement and Saint Augustine of Hippo have close resemblances and are strikingly parallel. It looks at how they were both born into comfortably well-off families and how both were in search of something they vigorously sought from their youth. It examines their strong links with their parents and similarities in education. It shows how Augustine had received a Christian education, although his father was baptized into Christianity only before his death and shows how Day spontaneously found serenity and beauty in the desolate and drab streets of Chicago's south side at the time. It discusses how both possessed sharp intellect and unbreakable will and how both went through great and varying tests in their commitment to the commandments of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ and in fulfillment of their inner calling.

From the Paper
"Augustine's mother brought Christianity very close to him, and although he was already searching for answers in his youth, he did not perceive the connection his search had with his mother's Faith (Knight). When once seriously ill, he asked for baptism, but when he recovered, he refused it and immersed himself in the current of licentiousness, idleness and worldliness of his time. He also associated with "men of prayers", who impressed him with the concepts of Divine Providence, the future life, and Christ the Savior. But the fires of these concepts and his deep search were doused for 15 years by "every circumstance" (Knight): his success in school, insincerity in prayer, vices of youth, competitiveness and sensuality, which bore him a son. His pride also subjected him to gross error by falling into the snare of the Manichaeans, Oriental thinkers, who enticed him with a philosophy without the entanglement of faith."

From the Paper
"The Long Loneliness is the autobiography of Dorothy Day, a woman who gave of herself for most of her life to help those less fortunate, and to press for social justice in America. She was also a religious leader as one of the founding members of the Catholic Worker Movement, a movement that sought social justice from a Catholic perspective. One of the important forces in her life was God, and she talks about her relationship with God and how it developed in this book. Her story is the story of many people who were religious as children, who then stopped believing because religion was no longer important to them or because they lost their faith for some reason. Like others, Day returned to the Church later in life, but she became an extremely active member.


The place of religion in her childhood is apparent in the opening chapter as Day talks about the meaning and experience of going..."

From the Paper
" This study will examine Dorothy Day's autobiography The Long Loneliness, focusing on the development of Day's religious consciousness and her relationship with God. The study will argue that the spiritual and religious evolution of Day took place in two parts, the first including the confused years up to the birth of her daughter, and the second including the years after that birth.

There is much paradox in the process whereby Day's religious faith grew and deepened. Day's Catholicism, once it clearly emerged, was a strict one, based on conservative moral views. Yet her pregnancy and the birth of the daughter which took her fully into the territory of faith were marked on the surface by anything but religious elements. She became pregnant by a man to whom she was not married, a man who was staunchly opposed to the.."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and analyze the book, "The Long Loneliness" by Dorothy Day. Specifically, it offers a reflection and analysis of the book in light of the author's contribution to the unfortunate. Dorothy Day was an amazing woman who founded the Catholic Worker Movement, and spent the majority of her life helping those less fortunate in the world. She was a remarkable woman, and "The Long Loneliness" is her autobiography.

From the Paper
"Dorothy Day's life certainly was not traditional. As she herself noted, "Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them" (Day 16). As a young woman, she was a devout radical and Socialist. She had a child out of wedlock. She was a prolific writer, and most of all, after she turned 30; she was completely devoted to the Catholic Church and the Catholic Worker Movement, which she and friend Peter Maurin founded together. She writes often of her deep feelings for her religion, and how difficult it is to remain devout."

Abstract
The paper reviews the book "The Long Loneliness" which is set during the Depression era. Dorothy Day desperately searches for some meaning and purpose to her life. This search results in her conversion to Catholicism. From then onwards, she devotes herself to community work, which is her way of staying in touch with God. Her autobiography, "The Long Loneliness" talks about the turmoil of her times, and her renewed faith in religion and God. The paper reflects on various experiences of Day's life and the lessons she learns from them.

From the Paper
"Dorothy Day is and will always be remembered as one of the most prolific American writers of the Depression era. But Day was not exactly a writer, as one would conclude from the warm reviews that that her books received. She was essentially a social activist who wrote novels only to serve her life goals and objectives. "

Abstract
This paper looks at the similarities and differences in the leadership styles of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dorothy Day and Mary Baker Eddy. The paper also looks at how Gary Wills, author of "Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders", analyzes their leadership styles and points out that, in spite of their different styles of leadership, all three women were devoted, dedicated and determined to make a difference and thus were successful in doing so.

From the Paper
"In the appendix to his book Certain Trumpets, author Garry Wills states, "I was not looking for the greatest or best leaders but those who can be seen, at some point in their career, exemplifying a distinctive kind of leadership," (271). For each of the sixteen leadership styles Wills outlines, he puts forth one notable human figure who he feels most aptly demonstrates through their life the essential features of that kind of leader. What each of these disparate leaders demonstrates, in spite of their differences, is a sphere of influence specific to their lifestyles, cultural context, personality, and talents. Each of these leaders was successful in leaving an impact on the world even though their approaches to leadership differed greatly. Eleanor Roosevelt, an almost reluctant leader who walked solidly between the two poles of radicalism and conservatism, exemplified the ability to execute reform in American political and social realities. Her Victorian upbringing and values prevented her from becoming a dynamic, charismatic leader, but her dedication and solid rationality made her extremely successful in affecting change."

Abstract
Theologians, Biblical scholars and Christians all over the world often wrestle with two extremely important questions about their faith. These questions are, "What is God like?" and "How should we live in response to God?" Through references to four experts in the field of theology, Kathleen Norris, Saint Augustine, Monika Hellwig and Dorothy Day, this paper compares different views on each of the questions. The paper shows that the common denominator between the views examined is that everyone agrees that in order to truly live in response to God, we need other people. Some feel that we need others to direct us, some feel we need them to challenge us, some feel that we need them so that we have people to love, but everyone agrees that we need others.

From the Paper
"Kathleen Norris, author of The Cloister Walk, makes it abundantly clear that she believes that God most often reveals himself through our actions and through our connections with other people. She feels that God has given us the tools to get started on our journey of faith, love, and life, but we need to rely on other people to get the full experience. Not only do we need others to help us learn and grow, but we also need to challenge each other to become better Christians. By constantly challenging each other, we make sure that we will never stop striving to become better Christians. Since such great happiness lies in a good relationship with God, the people that challenge us help us to become better, happier people."

Abstract
The paper shows that the field of pediatric nursing is a particularly large one in which its members may find themselves having to counsel both young patients and their families suffering from a myriad of diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF), in particular, is a debilitating disease that strikes many young people. The paper discusses how, in the first years following its discovery, many children could not expect to make it to their teen years. Today, with advances in the management and care of this disease, patients are living into their 40s and it is even possible that there will one day be a cure. This paper will look at CF from a historical perspective. The timeline of its discovery and research are briefly presented, as are a few of the significant "milestones" in the history of the treatment of CF and what these mean for people battling this disease.

From the Paper
"Perhaps the most exciting advent in the history of the treatment of CF, as well as the most controversial, is the use of gene therapy. The idea behind gene therapy is to treat an illness by addressing and correcting its genetic cause. With the identification of the gene that actually causes CF, noting that it is a defect of sorts in the gene that causes the disease, it was only a matter of time before gene therapy was applied to CF. In 2000, an advanced experiment was performed in North Carolina. The idea was to give patients currently suffering from CF a healthy gene and hope that it will fix what is wrong with the unhealthy gene, even replace it, thereby curing the patient. Results and future applications of this procedure remain to be seen."

Abstract
The paper supports the modified philosophical approach to nursing championed by Chinn and Kramer and shows how their contribution to Dorothy Orem's theories improve the process of thought. The paper further shows how Chinn and Kramer codify, in a stepwise function, how to improve practice and apply conscious theory development to the profession. The paper discusses their "third-level" philosophical approach and relates that although this approach may seem distant to nurses involved in the day-to-day chaos of the acute care wards, they provide a useful conceptual framework for an improvement of the profession.

From the Paper
"Nursing has progressed from a 'helping,' or 'mothering' profession in the mid-1900's to a profession which incorporates the same basic human emotions, but also combines with empirical evidence to help improve the patient's quality of life. Applying a concrete definition to the concept of nursing was a pioneering effort from Orem in the 1980's. Subsequent work by Fawcett, Chinn, Kramer and others in the 1990's added a more philosophical level to the practice of nursing."
