We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running is a thing worth doing not because of the future rewards it bestows, but because of how it feeds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running is a thing worth doing not because of the future rewards it bestows, but because of how it feeds our bodies and minds and souls in the present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, hark! what mean those yells and cries? His chain some furious madman breaks;  He comes--I see his glaring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21021]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, hark! what mean those yells and cries? His chain some furious madman breaks;  He comes--I see his glaring eyes:   Now, now, my dungeon grate he shakes.    Help!

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slowly those who create the wealth of the world are permitted to share it.
