Welcome as a witness to a fools journey out of the darkness. I welcome all tidings - you are all my teachers on this path toward a meaningful and purposeful sobriety.
St. Michael the Archangel on Carrying the AA Message | 全人 マイケル| Sanctus Michael Votum
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. -Amen.
St. Joan of Arc on Step 3 | 天帝 交付金 マイクロエレクトロニクス 鞏固 働く 尊| Deus Tribuo Mihi Vires Efficio Vestri Mos
Saint Joan of Arc - In the face of your enemies, in the face of harassment, ridicule, and doubt, you held firm in your faith. Even in your abandonment, alone and without friends, you held firm in your faith. Even as you faced your own mortality, you held firm in your faith. I pray that I may be as bold in my beliefs as you, St. Joan of Arc. I ask that you ride alongside me in my own battles. Help me be mindful that what is worthwhile can be won when I persist. Help me hold firm in my faith. Help me believe in my ability to act well and wisely. Amen.
AA Responsibility Pledge | 負担 予約 | Officium Spondeo
"I Am Responsible ... When Anyone, Anywhere, Reaches Out for Help, I Want the Hand of A.A. Always to Be There. And for That, I Am Responsible."
Prayer of the Confederate Soldier | 虐げられた者への祈り | De Oppresso Liber
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked God for health, that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy, I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men, I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life, I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for - but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among men, most richly blessed. Found on the body of a Southern soldier 1861-1865

St. Joan of Arc Prayer | もし私が、神が私を置くことではない、そしてもし私は、| Dei Gratia Deo Adiuvante, Deo Favente
St. Joan of Arc's famous response when she was asked about whether she was in God's grace while leading the French to thier glorious victory of the English: "If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not in His grace"
With Loving Thanks to My AA Teachers | かれらは空を見て星に自分の顔リフト入札 | Caelum Videre Iussit, et Erectos
This fools tale of his journey (hopefully) out of the dark is devoted with everlasting love and gratitude to my sponsor, David J. of Brooklyn, NY, 'The Happy Warrior', the most wonderful spiritual advisor a person could ever wish to have. Thank you being the teacher I always wanted, and for helping me become the man I am today. Everything I know about Love & AA I learned on your couch. Additionally, special thanks to Chris R. of Ingram, TX, and Bob D., of Las Vegas, NV, both of whom have helped rocket me into the fourth dimension of existence.
Forgive Them All | あまりにもネジを、神を許すことは人間である | Sit Venia Berbo
You Will Know that Forgiveness Has Begun when You Recall Those Who Hurt You and Feel the Power to Wish Them Well. -Lewis B. Smedes
