It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very easy to say everything is outrageous.
