We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62041]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I'd known I was gonna live this long.

Christianity has been trying to achieve a revolution by consciousness for two thousand years. Who would deny that Christian consciousness could have changed the world? Yet it was the world that changed Christian consciousness. If everybody adopted a peaceful, loving, generous, noncompetitive lifestyle, we could have something better than counter-culture -- we could have the Kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They shot the lights out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34446]]></link><description><![CDATA[They shot the lights out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bargain is anything a customer thinks a store is losing money on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3731]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bargain is anything a customer thinks a store is losing money on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe.
