Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   The Hebrew religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   The Hebrew religion was an unfinished religion.
