The Verse before the Gospel for the First Sunday of Lent (Matthew 4:4b)
One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
Just a simple reminder that the material world and all of its allures, it “morality” and everything that it offers, does not bring life to the soul. On the contrary, as we know from our own drinking anf using, it often creates a “hole in the soul” that can only be filled by God and His Word.
I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
