But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But he, whose humours spurn law's awful yoke, Must herd with those, by whom law's bonds are broke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51083]]></link><description><![CDATA[But he, whose humours spurn law's awful yoke, Must herd with those, by whom law's bonds are broke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're doing fundraising, providing food, housing clothing, whatever she needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30379]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're doing fundraising, providing food, housing clothing, whatever she needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool and a wise man are alike both in the starting-place--their birth, and at the post--their death; only they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16339]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool and a wise man are alike both in the starting-place--their birth, and at the post--their death; only they differ in the race of their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The political world is stimulating.
