Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Akaka said yesterday the future of Hawaiian programs could hinge on whether the bill is successful.] When that happens, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32562]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Akaka said yesterday the future of Hawaiian programs could hinge on whether the bill is successful.] When that happens, the courts I think will view these cases differently, ...
