It is what St. Paul calls the mystery -- a secret hidden within God even before the creation of the world, but now made known to men and women of faith, whereby all nations are to be gathered up and presented to God through Jesus Christ. This gathering up takes place in the Church, the mystical Body of Christ. The mystery has been unfolded according to a divine plan; prepared by the vocation of the Jewish people; and substantially realized by the mission of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who by His Ascension introduced human nature for all eternity into the sphere of the life of the Divine Trinity: and this plan is to be accomplished among the various peoples of the world, during the time between Pentecost and the Second Coming.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Red, Hot and Blue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Red, Hot and Blue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always weaken whatever we exaggerate. [Fr., On affaiblit toujours tout ce qu'on exagere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61336]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always weaken whatever we exaggerate. [Fr., On affaiblit toujours tout ce qu'on exagere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60974]]></link><description><![CDATA[A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change of weather is the discourse of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change of weather is the discourse of fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect.

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it.
