I understand. There is a reasonable discomfort, even a multiple discomfort, in extreme expressions like Day's (ironically, the founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and a left- wing, albeit believing, Catholic). Whatever relationship one has with God, it is surely more complicated than letting Him run things. I am sure that Dorothy Day was not absolved from decision, even if she prayed for aid, nor should God be blamed for every mistake she made. Nor do we want people confusing their strong desires with the will of God. On the other hand, the relationship is always, by its nature, one where the creature is subordinate. One reason I think God has hidden His face from us, so to speak, is that we could not reach moral maturity if we were not forced to rely on ourselves and each other most of the time. Thus, we can worship without either over- familiarity or abjectness. God does not want to be overbearing, as it were.
