No amount of air-conditioning and pew-cusioning in the suburban church can cover over the hard truth that the Christian life... is a narrow way of suffering; that discipleship is costly: that, for the faithful, there is always a cross to be carried. No one can understand Christianity to its depths who comes to it to enjoy it as a pleasant weekend diversion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46927]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who has nothing to do is always the busiest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who has nothing to do is always the busiest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I need not shout my faith.

It is what St. Paul calls the mystery -- a secret hidden within God even before the creation of the world, but now made known to men and women of faith, whereby all nations are to be gathered up and presented to God through Jesus Christ. This gathering up takes place in the Church, the mystical Body of Christ. The mystery has been unfolded according to a divine plan; prepared by the vocation of the Jewish people; and substantially realized by the mission of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who by His Ascension introduced human nature for all eternity into the sphere of the life of the Divine Trinity: and this plan is to be accomplished among the various peoples of the world, during the time between Pentecost and the Second Coming.
