And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunities are like sunrises.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come not within the measure of my wrath. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.
