But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item></channel></rss>
