When you use recovery programs as meetings where you meet people and have some sober social life, you may feel good for a while but it is not enough. You need to go deeper for a change that is true “recovery.” You need a spiritual practice that goes beyond the social and the hearing of the message with the ears. It is a bit like going to church and that is the only time you pray and maybe not even meditate. You connect with your God, but not deep enough to effect the change that God wants and you need to become your best self.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

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!
