As Christ gives Himself to feed us, so we have to incarnate something of His all-loving, all-sacrificing soul. If we do not, then we have not really received Him. That is the plain truth. It has been said that there are many ways and degrees of receiving the Blessed Sacrament. It really depends on how wide we open our hearts. A spiritually selfish communion is not a communion at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!  What freezings have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/159]]></link><description><![CDATA[How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!  What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!   What old December's bareness everywhere!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hole and the patch should be commensurate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hole and the patch should be commensurate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, as long as the prices are steady and people have their jobs, I think they will do what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, as long as the prices are steady and people have their jobs, I think they will do what is needed to make their payments and avoid the foreclosure process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thursday come, and the week's gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thursday come, and the week's gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let your head hang down.

When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While twilight's curtain gathering far, Is pinned with a single diamond star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57830]]></link><description><![CDATA[While twilight's curtain gathering far, Is pinned with a single diamond star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he started, the population was about 7,000 people and now it's up to over 40,000 people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33103]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he started, the population was about 7,000 people and now it's up to over 40,000 people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to live your life in your own way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22360]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to live your life in your own way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12702]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very difficult to shoot when you turn the ball over before you get the opportunity to shoot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35998]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very difficult to shoot when you turn the ball over before you get the opportunity to shoot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35998</guid></item></channel></rss>
