In AA we have found that the actual good results of prayer
are beyond question.
They are matters of knowledge and experience.
All those who have persisted have found strength
not ordinarily their own.
They have found wisdom beyond their usual capability.
And they have increasingly found a peace of mind
which can stand firm in the face of
difficult circumstances.
Lord, take me where you want me to go;
Let me meet whom you want me to meet;
Tell me what you want me to say
And keep me out of your way.*
*Fr. Mychul Judge, beloved AA member, NYC Fire Department Chaplain (died 09/11/01, World Trade Center)
The day of his funeral was the 23rd anniversary of his recovery as an alcoholic.
He was a staunch believer in the 12-step movement of Alcoholics Anonymous, which he called "America's greatest contribution to spirituality."
A S A P = Always Say A Prayer.
