Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public office is a public trust, the authority and opportunities of which must be used as absolutely as the public ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public office is a public trust, the authority and opportunities of which must be used as absolutely as the public moneys for the public benefit, and not for the purposes of any individual or party.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy.

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[There are times when God asks nothing of His children except silence, patience and tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45738]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are times when God asks nothing of His children except silence, patience and tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66074]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63387]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was looking pretty desperate out here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40174]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was looking pretty desperate out here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the nine heavens are eight Paradises; Where is the ninth one?
