Someone said to me, “I kept myself sober by meetings, reading, service and steps.” Oh! So you did this by yourself and with some human aide? Human power alone? I wish I could be a better person, free of bad tendencies, emotional shortcomings, debilitating reactions to life on life’s terms, all by my own efforts, and maybe with some help from others. But ultimately, human power never did it for me. I need a POWER Greater than ME. Humility. Surrender. The narrow road. But a road I don’t stumble on.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

From Stephanie Logan of Centennial, CO
I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
