The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has to be positive action that allows the most disadvantaged people to get their fair share of job opportunities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14124]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has to be positive action that allows the most disadvantaged people to get their fair share of job opportunities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gain from your opponents without sacrificing your own strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45024]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gain from your opponents without sacrificing your own strength.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slackers are waiting for their ship to come in, but the haven't wandered down to the docks to meet it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slackers are waiting for their ship to come in, but the haven't wandered down to the docks to meet it.

Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Variety alone gives joy; The sweetest meats the soonest cloy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Variety alone gives joy; The sweetest meats the soonest cloy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60431</guid></item></channel></rss>
