Remembering the death date of Peter Maurin, co-founder of the Catholic Worker. Some said that he was "holier than thou." Dorothy Day said, "Peter *was* holy--holier than anyone we ever knew." May 15, 1959.

It is encouraging to learn that this holy man had a bit of an ego too (got offended when Dorothy's essays, and not just his, were published in TCW). There is hope for the rest of us.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
