This He does for the sake of what man is to inherit, to become. And for the means, He gives him over to a Person, Christ, and a community, the Church; and in attachment to these, personality grows, freedom is attained, sin is forgiven, estrangement is ended, capacities for relationship extend. Reconciliation is the Spirit's liberating work of love, exercised through a Person and a community of persons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's really an impressive number. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31318]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's really an impressive number.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48660]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Food for the soul. [Lat., Nutrimentum spiritus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Food for the soul. [Lat., Nutrimentum spiritus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the nature of slavery to render its victims so abject that at last, fearing to be free, they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47184]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the nature of slavery to render its victims so abject that at last, fearing to be free, they multiply their own chains.

Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers.
