Peace Pilgrim

“This is the way of peace:
Overcome evil with good,
falsehood with truth,
and hatred with love.”

Peace Pilgrim (?-1981), the great American female saint. She walked penniless for nearly 30 years all over North America to spread her gospel of peace, depending solely on the grace of God for her sustenance, without ever asking for assistance for her physical needs.

Her personal motto was: "I will walk until given shelter and fast until given food, remaining a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace."
