Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, work and knowledge are the wellsprings of our lives, they should also govern it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, work and knowledge are the wellsprings of our lives, they should also govern it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   In his experience of God, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   In his experience of God, a Christian has a strong sense of his individuality, never of his unity with God. Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going into the season, ... we thought Darius was our No. 1 corner.
