It is often assumed that the Church exercises little such influence and ought to exercise none; it is further assumed that this assumption is self-evident and has always been made by reasonable men. As a matter of fact the assumption is entirely modern and unjustified.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A system of doctrine has risen up during the last three centuries, in which faith or spiritual-mindedness is contemplated and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7199]]></link><description><![CDATA[A system of doctrine has risen up during the last three centuries, in which faith or spiritual-mindedness is contemplated and rested on as the end of religion, instead of Christ. I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ; not simply in looking to Christ, but in seeing that we look to Christ; not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him...

Life becomes sterile and futile without the depth and power which come from participation in eternal realities. But this new age cannot any more successfully live on religious faiths that are out of harmony with known truth, or that hang loose in the air, cut apart from the fundamental intellectual culture of the age. The hour has struck for the serious business of rediscovering the foundations, and of interpenetrating all life and thought with the truths and realities of a victorious religious faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Palm Sunday Feast of Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, Martyr, 1980 Commemoration of Paul Couturier, Priest, Ecumenist, 1953  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Palm Sunday Feast of Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, Martyr, 1980 Commemoration of Paul Couturier, Priest, Ecumenist, 1953   In this state of things I saw no remedy but faith and patience. The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All wish for knowledge, but no one wishes to pay the price of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50428]]></link><description><![CDATA[All wish for knowledge, but no one wishes to pay the price of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The girls played well.
