Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dearth of words a woman need not fear; But 'tis a task indeed to learn to hear:  In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10105]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dearth of words a woman need not fear; But 'tis a task indeed to learn to hear:  In that the skill of conversation lies;   That shows and makes you both polite and wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men. [Lat., Ignis aurum probat, misera fortes viros.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men. [Lat., Ignis aurum probat, misera fortes viros.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[March comes in with an adder's head, and goes out with a peacock's tail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26365]]></link><description><![CDATA[March comes in with an adder's head, and goes out with a peacock's tail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18607]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is contemplation.
