But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Great art Thou, O Lord, and highly to be praised; great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Great art Thou, O Lord, and highly to be praised; great is Thy power, yea, and Thy wisdom is infinite. And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we really would like to see is lifetime supervision and GPS monitoring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40487]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we really would like to see is lifetime supervision and GPS monitoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22398]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tearless grief bleeds inwardly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience.
