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[To have the same likes and dislikes, therein consists the firmest bond of friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51075]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have the same likes and dislikes, therein consists the firmest bond of friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977 Continued from yesterday:  He, then, whose action is governed by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977 Continued from yesterday:  He, then, whose action is governed by mere desire is not free to attain the satisfaction which alone gives meaning to that desire. There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final week of early voting is always the heaviest, and the hotter the race, the heavier the turnout in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31742]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final week of early voting is always the heaviest, and the hotter the race, the heavier the turnout in the last few days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
