But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955   There is no wrath that stands between God and us, but what is awakened in the dark fire of our own fallen nature; and to quench this wrath, and not His own, God gave His only begotten Son to be made man. God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature does nothing without purpose or uselessly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature does nothing without purpose or uselessly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And weep the more, because I weep in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800]]></link><description><![CDATA[And weep the more, because I weep in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read.
