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[The star of the unconquered will, He rises in my breast,  Serene, and resolute, and still,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The star of the unconquered will, He rises in my breast,  Serene, and resolute, and still,   And calm, and self-possessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us seize, friends, our opportunity from the day as it passes. [Lat., Rapiamus, amici,  Occasionem de die.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us seize, friends, our opportunity from the day as it passes. [Lat., Rapiamus, amici,  Occasionem de die.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you will, they wont, when you wont, they will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51755]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you will, they wont, when you wont, they will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He probably has some of the best putting strokes I have ever seen.

Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633  If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633  If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, surely I am bound, so far as it is in my power, to practice what I pray for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're 0-9, you've got a lot of flaws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29485]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're 0-9, you've got a lot of flaws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each morning we are born again.
