Alcohol doesn’t discriminate. Nor does Grace. The 12 Step Recovery Fellowship, a Fellowship of Equals, also doesn’t discriminate. The only difference between us and alcohol is that alcohol doesn’t care. WE CARE.
Quotes on Grace by Caroline Myss and Gerald May:
"Grace is the breath of God—an invisible essence beyond intellect that moves swiftly amongst us. It is not only possible to become a living conduit of this powerful force; grace is immediately accessible to us along with the courage to follow divine guidance."
“The word deserve causes immeasurable pain.”
"Maybe, sometimes, in the midst of things going terribly wrong, something is going just right."
— Gerald G. May (The Dark Night of the Soul: A Psychiatrist Explores the Connection Between Darkness and Spiritual Growth)
And some thoughts by Carl Jung: "The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ -- all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself -- that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness -- that I myself am the enemy who must be loved -- what then? As a rule, the Christian's attitude is then reversed; there is no longer any question of love or long-suffering; we say to the brother within us "Raca," and condemn and rage against ourselves. We hide it from the world; we refuse to admit ever having met this least among the lowly in ourselves." - C>G> Jung (Memories, Dreams, Reflections).
