Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ May 11, 2000 Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men.

His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything we do in emergency services is a calculated risk, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything we do in emergency services is a calculated risk,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What does labor want?
