We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No idea is so antiquated that it was not once modern.

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20153]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We look forward to bringing a new entertainment experience to our customers by delivering programming that consumers want while protecting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33897]]></link><description><![CDATA[We look forward to bringing a new entertainment experience to our customers by delivering programming that consumers want while protecting the rights of our partners in the content community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could tell it probably wasn't the best news of the day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could tell it probably wasn't the best news of the day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of losing isn't hard to masters; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44337]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of losing isn't hard to masters; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a fundamental difference between the appeal of a mass movement and the appeal of a practical organization.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And quick his colour went and came, As fear and rage alternate rose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51079]]></link><description><![CDATA[And quick his colour went and came, As fear and rage alternate rose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16711]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[want to destroy him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34821]]></link><description><![CDATA[want to destroy him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cunning is strength withheld. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10840]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cunning is strength withheld.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58811]]></link><description><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can actually travel ahead in time and shave beard hairs that don't even exist yet]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58811</guid></item></channel></rss>
