This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  As the genuine religious impulse becomes dominant, adoration more and more takes charge.
