St. Basil the Great  January 3, 1998  Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970  For us in the Pacific, in Asia, in India, and in Africa, Christian unity is not an optional extra. It is an urgent necessity, for our divisions are a real stumbling-block to the proclamation of the Gospel... Mission is at the heart of the divine reality. It is the will of God and the Kingdom of God which are to be made known. Wherever we are, our purpose is not to propagate the Church as an end in itself, but to proclaim Christ as Lord of all life and as Saviour of all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26901]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it.

Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have better spared a better man. -King Henry IV.
