And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resignation is the courage of Christian sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resignation is the courage of Christian sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty, it is it's own reward.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once is happenstance.

We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hers was one of the first applications we accepted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hers was one of the first applications we accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dedicate some of your life to others.
