Yet we are not to omit reading the abstruser texts, which have any appearance of relating to us; but should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin, who understood not several of our Saviour's sayings, but kept them all in her heart.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4627]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tenderness is the repose of Passion ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tenderness is the repose of Passion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16986]]></link><description><![CDATA[My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember she had these long, lovely nails with red varnish, in the middle of this shitty place we were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39529]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember she had these long, lovely nails with red varnish, in the middle of this shitty place we were in!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hard part about being a head coach, especially when you have a program that's new, is getting the kids ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hard part about being a head coach, especially when you have a program that's new, is getting the kids to buy into the fact that you have a team.

He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item></channel></rss>
