In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca juvent alios; ego me nunc denique natum Gratulor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft and faire goes farre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft and faire goes farre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure insteadof having pain and pleasure use you.

As Christ gives Himself to feed us, so we have to incarnate something of His all-loving, all-sacrificing soul. If we do not, then we have not really received Him. That is the plain truth. It has been said that there are many ways and degrees of receiving the Blessed Sacrament. It really depends on how wide we open our hearts.
