This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blame it on a simple twist of fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blame it on a simple twist of fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O blithe New-comer!

Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not only less reasonable and less decent in our dreams... we are also more inteligent, wiser and capable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62887]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not only less reasonable and less decent in our dreams... we are also more inteligent, wiser and capable of better judgment when we are asleep than when we are awake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like summer tempest came her tears: Sweet my child, I live for thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like summer tempest came her tears: Sweet my child, I live for thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The Lord afflicts us at times; but it is always a thousand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The Lord afflicts us at times; but it is always a thousand times less than we deserve, and much less than many of our fellow-creatures are suffering around us.
