He therefore is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life, parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains." Wherefore we must needs suffer pain with Christ to do our neighbor good, as well with the body and all his members, as with heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, Staretz, 1833   The fool for Christ holds a prophetic role in Christianity, from the early church to Russian Orthodox "pilgrims" and such later fools as Luther, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky, who were seekers after the true, the good, the holy, the beautiful.

If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no real wealth but the labor of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23959]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no real wealth but the labor of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout,  Church, army, physic, law,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62202]]></link><description><![CDATA[He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout,  Church, army, physic, law,   Its customs and its businesses,    Is no concern at all of his,     And says--what says he?--Caw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt we had to stop them on their first possession of the second half and score on our first ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30183]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt we had to stop them on their first possession of the second half and score on our first possession.
