To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the hands of a godless world. He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe.
