It can only be combined with the vocation of a pioneer missionary of the classic type if matrimony is felt to be spiritually neutral, irrelevant to God's calling. Marriage can be irrelevant only if we believe that the body -- matter -- is neutral, irrelevant, or evil. Man can not believe that and believe the Christian faith. God made matter, and was incarnate in it: the comparison of the relation of husband and wife to that between Christ and the Church naturally follows. But this conclusion is not always drawn, for orthodox Christians are often prone to speak and behave as if the Lord... became not flesh but spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're assuming that these folks will be coming here and staying here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28718]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're assuming that these folks will be coming here and staying here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. -David ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. -David Starr Jordan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10193]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives it: for Optima corrupta pessima: the best things corrupted become the worst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither irony or sarcasm is argument. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   The... task of the ministry is, not to undertake some specialist activity from which the rest of the faithful are excluded, but to pioneer in doing that which the whole church must do.
