This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards. How dare we call ourselves His, if we cannot shape our own wills to His?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955   There is no wrath that stands between God and us, but what is awakened in the dark fire of our own fallen nature; and to quench this wrath, and not His own, God gave His only begotten Son to be made man. God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60128]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can do anything we want, if we stick to it long enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60969]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can do anything we want, if we stick to it long enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He knows little who tells his wife all he knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61569]]></link><description><![CDATA[He knows little who tells his wife all he knows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47593]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon.

And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tim's characters tend to wear darker colors and some, like the corpse bride, are no longer living, but they have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tim's characters tend to wear darker colors and some, like the corpse bride, are no longer living, but they have a pluck and a spirit that makes you fall in love with them,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16642]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea appears all golden Beneath the sun-lit sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44892]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sea appears all golden Beneath the sun-lit sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I spoke to Jose Manuel last night and was happy to share this information with him.
