He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is but little in this world which can go wrong because everything is a blessing in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62225]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is but little in this world which can go wrong because everything is a blessing in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't believe drugs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13022]]></link><description><![CDATA[See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn 'em.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8562</guid></item></channel></rss>
