[Francis] always knew where the real miracle lay. It was not in things that happened to his body, though they were wonderful enough. It was not to be found in the fact that birds and beasts, even the wolf of Gubbio, felt the spell of his spirit. It was the radiance of light and love breaking across the darkness and hate of the world and his time. He loved lepers. He loved robbers and changed their lives. He loved beggars in their rags. He loved rich men, too, and members of the Church, who needed him as much as the robbers did. He brought Christianity out of forms and creeds and services into the open air, in action and into the movements of life. He changed the entire line of march of religion in the Western World. Brother Masseo, half jesting, asked him once why the whole world was running after him, not very comely, not very wise, not of noble birth. "Why after thee?" "God chose me," Francis answered, "because He could find no one more worthless, and He wished by me to confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength and beauty and learning of the world." But the real answer is that here at last in this wonderful man was an organ of that Spirit which was in Christ, and a marvelous transmitter of it to the world. The divine agape went out into men's lives through him. Here was a childlike lover of men, ready, if need be, to be crucified for love, but also ready in humble everyday tasks to reveal this love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making guests feel at home when that's really where you wish they were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making guests feel at home when that's really where you wish they were.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39427]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holding anger is a poison.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tasty Wednesday ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tasty Wednesday]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Donors must respond now if we are going to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Donors must respond now if we are going to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now we sit close about this taper here And call in question our necessities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now we sit close about this taper here And call in question our necessities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["There are strings," said Mr. Tappertit, ". . . in the human heart that had better not be wibrated." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19045]]></link><description><![CDATA["There are strings," said Mr. Tappertit, ". . . in the human heart that had better not be wibrated."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very excited.
