Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think people should be allowed to do anything they want.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that sends a foole expects one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49392]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that sends a foole expects one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61960]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  When Paul speaks [II Cor. 3] of our being ministers of the New Testament, he does not refer to books most of which were not yet written, but to the gospel, which he found in the Scripture he possessed. The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind.

Its complete bondage to nature has enclosed the mind and spirit of man in a fast prison out of which, try as he may, he can find no way of escape. The inability to perceive any longer the reality of things invisible and unseen is a sickness of the soul which cries out to be cured. The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item></channel></rss>
