But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. -Fr. Alfred D'Souza.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[from The Lathe of Heaven Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25856]]></link><description><![CDATA[from The Lathe of Heaven Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A passerby named Larry, our angel, pulled the debris off and got Casey out and took him to safety and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33337]]></link><description><![CDATA[A passerby named Larry, our angel, pulled the debris off and got Casey out and took him to safety and then came back and got me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58164]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as the pre-conditions of fellowship, such changes as will bring them into conformity with ourselves in matters which we regard as essential, and that a failure to insist on this will involve compromise in regard to what is essential to the Church's being.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item></channel></rss>
