We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are other people.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The society of women is the element of good manners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26350]]></link><description><![CDATA[The society of women is the element of good manners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17481]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17481</guid></item></channel></rss>
