Never Again can be a tough thing to do. It is full of pride, the ego at work. “I can do this.” You think your will-power can change some lifelong tendency or action forever simply by saying so. But this usually leads to failure on the “never again” scale. I love bread. Doc says drop the bread. Ugg. Impossible. But maybe I can just not eat bread today with my breakfast. Just for today. This is more doable. And it would help to get a power greater than my weak will-power involved. “God help me, just for today.” Now off to breakfast!
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!
