Peace is...


"Peace was the first thing the angels sang.
Peace is the mark of the sons of God.
Peace is the nurse of love.
Peace is the mother of unity.
Peace is the rest of blessed souls.
Peace is the dwelling place of eternity."

Leo the Great
Catholic Pope - 461

I found this quote in a small book purchased at a second hand bookstore in Ontario, Oregon - "A Gift of Mistletoe - Thoughts for a Merrie Christmas." Complied by Elisabeth Deane. I have enjoyed finding old quotes in random books found in out of the way small bookstores.

Out of the way (and small) bookstores ARE the best! =)
