The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373  Jesus was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373  Jesus was the representative of the Lord who forgives sins and heals all infirmities; the disciples acknowledged him as "Lord" and transferred to him the position ascribed to the "Lord" in the Old Testament. Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We laid it on the line.
