Search through every pagan nation, inquire in every idol temple, investigate the religious life of the idolaters of the world, and there will be found a fidelity to these false gods that will put Israel's unfaithfulness to her God to shame. Israel's conduct was unheard of even among the heathen. The idolatrous nations remained true to their gods, in spite of the fact that they did not actually exist and could not help them in any way. God, as it were, marvels at Israel's unbelief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want people getting mad at me if they can't get in, but 300 is our limit.

As Christ gives Himself to feed us, so we have to incarnate something of His all-loving, all-sacrificing soul. If we do not, then we have not really received Him. That is the plain truth. It has been said that there are many ways and degrees of receiving the Blessed Sacrament. It really depends on how wide we open our hearts. A spiritually selfish communion is not a communion at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of our defencemen here in the first couple of games have been just outstanding, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of our defencemen here in the first couple of games have been just outstanding,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstinence and fasting cure many a complaint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstinence and fasting cure many a complaint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957   Who seeks for heaven alone to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957   Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul  May keep the path, but will not reach the goal;  While he who walks in love may wander far,  Yet God will bring him where the blessed are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So vain is the belief That the sequestered path has fewest flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57177]]></link><description><![CDATA[So vain is the belief That the sequestered path has fewest flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/565]]></link><description><![CDATA[The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This insensibility of ours is a bad symptom.

For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"?
