“Acceptance is not approval.”

“Selfishness must be discovered and understood before it can be removed. It is powerless to remove itself, neither will it pass away of itself. Darkness ceases only when light is introduced; so, ignorance can only be dispersed by knowledge; selfishness by Love.”

“What a revelation about our emotional, psychological and spiritual nature. As we began to suspect how much trouble self-delusion had been causing us, we ask for forgiveness. All it takes is willingness to forgive; God will do the rest.” Adapted from Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions p. 58

Meditation for the Day “When one day you see how unexpectedly your prayer has been answered, then you will deeply regret that you have prayed so little. Prayer changes things. Practice praying until your trust in God has become strong. And then pray on, because it has become so much a habit that you need it daily. Keep praying until prayer seems to become communion with God. That is the note on which true times of prayer should end. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may form the habit of daily prayer. I pray that I may find the strength I need, as a result of this communion.”
