Peace, peace, for the sake of the love of the crucified Christ, and not war; that is the only solution. . Sigrid Undset
About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Saint Catherine of Siena was a 13th-century Italian Dominican, as well as a mystic and theologian. She was known as “The Voice of the Voiceless,” and her spiritual writings contain some of the best discussions on Franciscan theology and spirituality.
