What is there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100   What exactly has Christ done for you? What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secret admirers make us believe things about ourselves that we always hoped were true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secret admirers make us believe things about ourselves that we always hoped were true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regardless of how this 'report' ranks New York, our city is the most generous jurisdiction in the country when it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regardless of how this 'report' ranks New York, our city is the most generous jurisdiction in the country when it comes to addressing the needs of at-risk and homeless citizens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31354]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  What was God to do in the face of the dehumanizing of mankind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  What was God to do in the face of the dehumanizing of mankind -- this universal hiding of the knowledge of Himself? So burdened were men with their wickedness that they seemed rather to be brute beasts than reasonable men, reflecting the very likeness of the Word. What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Savior Jesus Christ?... Men had turned from the contemplation of God above, and were looking for Him in two opposite directions, down among created things, and things of sense. The Savior of us all, the Word of God, in His great love took to Himself a body and moved as Man among men, meeting their senses, so to speak, half-way. He became Himself an object for the senses, so that those who were seeking God in sensible things might apprehend the Father through the works which He, the Word of God, did in the body.
