O Lord let me not sink into total depravity, look down upon me, and rescue me at last from the captivity of sin. Impart to me good resolutions, and give me strength and perseverance to perform them. Take not from me Thy Holy Spirit, but grant that I may redeem the time lost, and that by temperance and diligence, by sincere repentance and faithful obedience I may finally attain everlasting happiness, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59798]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One man may be so placed that his anger sheds the blood of thousands, and another so placed that, however angry he gets, he will only be laughed at. But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We came out swinging today and it paid off.

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An economic policy which does not consider the well-being of all will not serve the purposes of peace and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27605]]></link><description><![CDATA[An economic policy which does not consider the well-being of all will not serve the purposes of peace and the growth of well-being among the people of all nations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We welcome moves towards reforms such as these, but it remains to be seen whether they will lead to better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41752]]></link><description><![CDATA[We welcome moves towards reforms such as these, but it remains to be seen whether they will lead to better quality trials and a significant reduction in the number of people sentenced to death.
