Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Craft against vice I must apply. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Craft against vice I must apply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are good; but then, they are only good at times and occasions, in a certain degree, and must be used and governed with such caution as we eat and drink and refresh ourselves, or they will bring forth in us the fruits of intemperance. But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I check my e-mail account about twice a day.

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item></channel></rss>
