Her hands reach out, as to push away the cross-crowned hill and the bloody day; they touch a rough, unyielding wall: the stable side, of stone piled tall  ("The stone -- rolled away!").]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I found that our Soviet espionage efforts had virtually never, or had very seldom, produced any worthwhile political or economic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I found that our Soviet espionage efforts had virtually never, or had very seldom, produced any worthwhile political or economic intelligence on the Soviet Union.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18381]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a short tournament and we have to stay humble about it.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  The reason why we can hope to find God is that He is here, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  The reason why we can hope to find God is that He is here, engaged all the time in finding us.

Every deed of good will points toward a consummate Goodness which fulfills all our tiny adventures in faith.
