But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. -Fr. Alfred D'Souza.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cops aren't going to touch this case, ...

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love comes unseen; we only see it go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love comes unseen; we only see it go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise are wise only because they love.

Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.
