Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him?
