a movement, an order, a society... but rather where it understands itself as being a part of the one, holy, catholic, Christian Church, where it shares actively and passively in the sufferings and struggles of the whole Church. Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12596]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65023]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need: prayer is the beginning of that communion, and some need is the motive of that prayer... So begins a communion, a talking with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of prayer, yea, of existence itself in its infinite phases. We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45522]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. -Rachel Carson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Security Council has taken up urgent human rights and political problems in more than 20 countries this year.
