Love does not stay idle.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
You [God] are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know your truth and I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you give yourself to man in this fire of your love
St. Catherine of Siena
