We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed lest you stumble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed lest you stumble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can never really be prepared for that which is wholly new.
