But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is the happiest of men?

My reply was: "No, you have a cross section of the church life honestly revealed."

Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
