The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a sheep of Beery, it is marked on the nose (applyed to those that have a blow). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49560]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a sheep of Beery, it is marked on the nose (applyed to those that have a blow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's Wisdom and God's Goodness!--Ah, but fools Mis-define thee, till God knows them no more.  Wisdom and goodness they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17674]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's Wisdom and God's Goodness!--Ah, but fools Mis-define thee, till God knows them no more.  Wisdom and goodness they are God!--what schools   Have yet so much as heard this simpler lore.    This no Saint preaches, and this no Church rules:     'Tis in the desert, now and heretofore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray, Like the divining rods of Magi old,  Where precious wealth lies buried, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray, Like the divining rods of Magi old,  Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold,   But love--strong love, that never can decay!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147]]></link><description><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  "The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  "The clergy," says Canon Rhymes, "are called to give to the laity the benefit of their theological understanding and so help them to account for and understand the faith which is in them." But surely there is no point in trying to account for faith: the moment it is accounted for rationally, it is no longer faith.
