The ministry of recovery is such a powerful yet simple act
of God. All it requires to begin with is the admission that we are powerless
over addictions and they make our lives unmanageable. I am delighted we have
opened our doors to Alcoholics Anonymous. It is such an important ministry to
so many people. The lives that AA saves
and restores to sanity are countless, and Our Savior is now assisting in God’s
divine plan to make each of us whole both inside and outside our parish
community; and that my friends is what the Gospel mission of Jesus is all
about. Christ invites the community into our midst and us into the midst of the
larger community. We soon find that God meets us where we are in life, whether
in church, work; play, at home and etc…God is there with open arms of love.
I wish to thank the parish for hosting this important and
vital ministry of Alcoholics Anonymous. A good priest friend of mine always
says, “The church is one big house of recovery. It’s one big hospital!” We are
all seeking healing and wholeness.
