In 1995, Paulist Pictures produced the feature film, Entertaining
Angels: The Dorothy Day Story, a movie that traces the spiritual
journey of Dorothy Day. The founder of The Catholic Worker, Dorothy
Day was a great servant of the poor, a battler for justice and a
champion of non-violent conflict resolution.
Starting from her days as a feisty Marxist journalist and through
several affairs and an abortion, she eventually undergoes a religious
transformation, which turned her into the American Mother Teresa.
The phrase "entertaining angels" comes from the New Testament, Hebrews
13:2, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some
people have entertained angels without knowing it," which expresses
Dorothy Day's attitude about hospitality to the poor.
