But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  To pass from estrangement from God to be a son ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of discontent in this world.
