The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41131]]></link><description><![CDATA[From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people regard prayer as a formalized routine of words, a refuge for weaklings, or a childish petition for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many people regard prayer as a formalized routine of words, a refuge for weaklings, or a childish petition for material things. We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe is a machine where you have been placed, and like a machine the outcome can be known.
