We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22990]]></link><description><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you.

We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ... I tell you, through a means which he has established, by which we can love Him freely; ... that is, we can be useful, not to Him -- which is impossible -- but to our neighbor... To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us. For, His charity extends over just men and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44236]]></link><description><![CDATA[The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obedience alone gives the right to command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obedience alone gives the right to command.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is to do right.
