The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had kicked the door in.
