Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am young. I didn't know that. But I don't recognize myself.

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Friday   Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Friday   Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition of the cross as the substitute for all the want on our part.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Splendidly mendacious. [Lat., Splendide mendax.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Splendidly mendacious. [Lat., Splendide mendax.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best throw with the dice is to throw them away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17168]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best throw with the dice is to throw them away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real secret of success is enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55003]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real secret of success is enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was quite interesting but I didn't come for this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28926]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was quite interesting but I didn't come for this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's kiss is magic.
