That it should carry out its mission to the men in the middle classes of capitalist society is doubtless a part of the Church's order; but that the mission should result in the formation of a middle-class church which defends the secular outlook and interests of that class is an evident corruption.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885    After saying our prayers, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885    After saying our prayers, we ought to do something to make them come true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been ''tattooed'' with an energy to put our own rude ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35765]]></link><description><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been ''tattooed'' with an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame -- not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements .

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't take life too seriously.

And if your prayer is only a form of words, made by the skill of other people, such a prayer can no more change you into a good man, than an actor upon the stage, who speaks kingly language, is thereby made to be a king: whereas one thought, or word, or look, towards God, proceeding from your own heart, can never be without its proper fruit, or fail of doing a real good to your soul. Again, another great and infallible benefit of this kind of prayer is this; it is the only way to be delivered from the deceitfulness of your own hearts. [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3846]]></link><description><![CDATA[All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not captivate the affections. [Sp., No todas hermosuras enamoran, que algunas alegran la vista, y no rinden la voluntad.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a maxim, that those to whom everybody allows the second place have an undoubted title to the first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62341]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a maxim, that those to whom everybody allows the second place have an undoubted title to the first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work...
