Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do -- I do it unto Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget your personal tragedy.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bravery has no place where it can avail nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bravery has no place where it can avail nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52825]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognizably wiser than oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
