It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being is.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are.
