And the church's response to this current situation will reveal, better than anything else, our faith in God -- or our faithlessness. If we churchmen interpret such pervasive doubt as a threat, then we will do as the church has done so often in the past: we will substitute the church for God, and make our church-centered activities into an ersatz kingdom of God. Our faithlessness will be evident in the easy paraphrase of the hard truth of the gospel, and in the lapse from the critical loyalty that God requires of us, into the vague and corrupting sentimentalism that has so marred American Protestantism. Or the church can interpret the present religious situation as a promise, as God's recall of His people to a new reformation. Our faithfulness to God-in-Christ will be manifest in the willingness to be honest with ourselves and with the gospel. Then we may view the church, not as an end in itself, but as the point of departure into the world for which the Son of God died. Which will it be?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no true orator who is not a hero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45232]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no true orator who is not a hero.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We definitely tell them it's an option, and it can be a lower-cost option than Part D. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33611]]></link><description><![CDATA[We definitely tell them it's an option, and it can be a lower-cost option than Part D.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48799]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have not the love of greatness, but the love of the love of greatness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18247]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have not the love of greatness, but the love of the love of greatness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are like a fine wine.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For "ignorance is the mother of devotion," as all the world knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20400]]></link><description><![CDATA[For "ignorance is the mother of devotion," as all the world knows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was alway yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing to make it too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55912]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was alway yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing to make it too common. -King Henry IV.

It is what St. Paul calls the mystery -- a secret hidden within God even before the creation of the world, but now made known to men and women of faith, whereby all nations are to be gathered up and presented to God through Jesus Christ. This gathering up takes place in the Church, the mystical Body of Christ. The mystery has been unfolded according to a divine plan; prepared by the vocation of the Jewish people; and substantially realized by the mission of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who by His Ascension introduced human nature for all eternity into the sphere of the life of the Divine Trinity: and this plan is to be accomplished among the various peoples of the world, during the time between Pentecost and the Second Coming.
