You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds:  in sickness you nurse us,  and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life:  by your anguish and labour we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness:  through your gentleness we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never thought of my characters as being sad.
