Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you wake up.

It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Filled with mingled cream and amber I will drain that glass again.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The landlord's laugh was ready chorus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The landlord's laugh was ready chorus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall you cry because roses have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shall you cry because roses have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born is a Cellar, . . . and living in a Garret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born is a Cellar, . . . and living in a Garret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just then, as by the tumult riven, Poured down at once the lowering heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just then, as by the tumult riven, Poured down at once the lowering heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I disagree that this is taking rights away from people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39290]]></link><description><![CDATA[I disagree that this is taking rights away from people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friday afternoon is usually not the best time to get people's attention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friday afternoon is usually not the best time to get people's attention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A couple of hours talking to travel agents can save you a lot of headaches down the road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37087]]></link><description><![CDATA[A couple of hours talking to travel agents can save you a lot of headaches down the road.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most striking parts of the Day of Atonement is that of the scapegoat.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your heart is my piñata. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your heart is my piñata.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The river past, and God forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49909]]></link><description><![CDATA[The river past, and God forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rising blushes, which her cheek o'er-spread, Are opening roses in the lily's bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4379]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rising blushes, which her cheek o'er-spread, Are opening roses in the lily's bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything went according to plan, as we were counting on Sastre, Peron and Piil to do really well today and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything went according to plan, as we were counting on Sastre, Peron and Piil to do really well today and at the last intermediate time it even looked as if Sastre might take the second place, but unfortunately he stalled a bit towards the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one worth possessing can be quite possessed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25984]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's true that a new threat against a member of the PP has appeared.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63126</guid></item></channel></rss>
