For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an intimate link with our fellow church-member in Fiji, and we think how wonderful it is that we belong to a communion which spans the entire globe.
