The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From thine, as then, the healing virtue goes Into our hearts -- that is the Father's plan.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest creatures; but associated with his kind, he works wonders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   Truth, not eloquence, is to be sought for in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   Truth, not eloquence, is to be sought for in Holy Scripture. Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grass stoops not, she treads on it so light; . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16415]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grass stoops not, she treads on it so light; . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16415</guid></item></channel></rss>
