The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ...

Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People weren't notified soon enough then they were given the impression it affected them when it didn'tÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â± it was sheer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38774]]></link><description><![CDATA[People weren't notified soon enough then they were given the impression it affected them when it didn'tÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â± it was sheer carelessness and incompetence on the part of the city.

The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind.

He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do your duty today and repent tomorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do your duty today and repent tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a panel feels that a grant is worthy and they know the content of the work of art in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37186]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a panel feels that a grant is worthy and they know the content of the work of art in question, we at the endowment will be prepared to defend it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Thanksgiving is the language of heaven, and we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Thanksgiving is the language of heaven, and we had better start to learn it if we are not to be mere dumb aliens there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.
