Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are trying to go in a similar direction here with it.

In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10724]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health, a light body, freedom from cravings, a glowing skin, sonorous voice, fragrance of body: these signs indicate progress in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health, a light body, freedom from cravings, a glowing skin, sonorous voice, fragrance of body: these signs indicate progress in the practice of meditation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love: when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude, in which he serves others voluntarily and for naught; himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and richness of his own faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public hospitals may become an endangered species.
