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/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are more inclined to be drawn in if their leader has a compelling vision.

His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when does flesh receive the bread which He calls His flesh?
