Father Leo’s Daily Meditation #essentialsorec

SAINTS


“The saints are the sinners who keep on going.”

—Robert Louis Stevenson

At times I do not want to carry on; I do not want to fight anymore for truth and freedom; it seems so much easier to “give up ” and agree with everybody—but I know, deep inside myself, this is not true.

At times the disease speaks to me and tells me to “give up” and everything will be okay—perhaps have one drink, don’t rush off to so many meetings, get what you can when you can! It all sounds so tempting, but I know that it does not work.

Sobriety works! The struggle and pain to act responsibly in my life is paying off and it does get better. I am not going to give up. My life is worth more than a quick fix!

Lord, let me know that true courage is working through the pain.
