Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</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[Questioning is not the mode of conversation among gentlemen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Questioning is not the mode of conversation among gentlemen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No star ever rose or set without influence somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20868]]></link><description><![CDATA[No star ever rose or set without influence somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8931]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people.

In all right efforts for the future, religion must be given first place.
