the shot of the cardinals walking with umbrellas in the rain 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

“to work together, and to grow together, we must be tolerant. no one person or faction seeking to dominate another … let me tell you, there is one sin, which i have come to fear above all others. certainty. certainty is the great enemy…
