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[I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor provisions; I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death.

Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 "I have not sought Thee, I have not found Thee,  I have not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 "I have not sought Thee, I have not found Thee,  I have not thirsted for Thee: And now cold billows of death surround me, Buffeting billows of death astound me,  Wilt Thou look upon, wilt Thou see  Thy perishing me?"
