Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life in a box is better than no life at all ...

O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's almost the perfect storm.
