Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55278]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23446]]></link><description><![CDATA[The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have not failed.

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning.
