Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no man, though never so little, but sometimes he can hurt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49957]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no man, though never so little, but sometimes he can hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the injuries, we were a tight unit with the roles clearly defined.
