Finding Light in Desperation: Fr. Bill W. on Spiritual Transformation in Recovery
“Calamity should come as good news to most of us... At that point, you are very dangerous if you think you're such hot stuff. And so they had rites that came into effect at that point in their lives. And that is probably the worst kind of suffering, the moment of suffering. No, I think God's going to be found within it, within it.”
