He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep heart listening and speaking your truth generates an exhilarating "heart talk" frequency.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one of us could ascend to the heavenly realm and for a few hours accompany the divine on His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53311]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one of us could ascend to the heavenly realm and for a few hours accompany the divine on His daily rounds, he would see below millions of his fellow humans busily hurling themselves into the passions, sports, and action of those around him.

Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the voice of men shall call, "He is fallen like us all,  Though the weapon of the Lord ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14088]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the voice of men shall call, "He is fallen like us all,  Though the weapon of the Lord was in his hand:"   And thine epitaph shall be--    "He was wretched ev'n as we;"     And thy tomb may be unhonoured in the land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at the beginning, then afterwards we should be able to do all things with ease and joy.
