The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men.

All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the Pearly Gates convinced that all the succubi own all the liquor stores in Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24721]]></link><description><![CDATA[If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The suppliers who receive these awards have provided exceptional performance in Quality to our Toyota plants in Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41694]]></link><description><![CDATA[The suppliers who receive these awards have provided exceptional performance in Quality to our Toyota plants in Europe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41694</guid></item></channel></rss>
