Academically oriented Christians especially tend to think that the barriers to faith should be removed by repackaging the content of the message in a way more congenial to the modern outlook. But it is quite possible that we are dealing not so much with a failure of intellect as with an alienation from the experiential roots of Christianity itself so amply attested in the New Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  Words are merely carriers of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  Words are merely carriers of the secret, supernatural communications, the light and call of God.

Just as love of God begins in listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but lends us His ear. So it is His work that we do for our brother when we learn to listen to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have a measure of abundance or population density of a single snake in Africa.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Murder may pass unpunish'd for a time, But tardy justice will o'ertake the crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Murder may pass unpunish'd for a time, But tardy justice will o'ertake the crime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't write a scene unless I've visualized it.
