St. Basil the Great  January 3, 1998  Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970  For us in the Pacific, in Asia, in India, and in Africa, Christian unity is not an optional extra. It is an urgent necessity, for our divisions are a real stumbling-block to the proclamation of the Gospel... Mission is at the heart of the divine reality. It is the will of God and the Kingdom of God which are to be made known. Wherever we are, our purpose is not to propagate the Church as an end in itself, but to proclaim Christ as Lord of all life and as Saviour of all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the world who knowes not to swimme, goes to the bottome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49551]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the world who knowes not to swimme, goes to the bottome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like feather-bed betwixt a wall And heavy brunt of cannon ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like feather-bed betwixt a wall And heavy brunt of cannon ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is no more than a dream as long as we need the comfort of the clan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is no more than a dream as long as we need the comfort of the clan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53767]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever.

The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63848]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh!

This losing of things is the mercy of God: it comes to teach us to let them go. Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth? I keep trying and trying to call it back, feeling a poor man until that thought be recovered -- to be far more lost, perhaps, in a notebook into which I shall never look again to find it! I forget that it is live things that God cares about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8218</guid></item></channel></rss>
