“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.” (John 14:1–2)

In recovery, troubled hearts are something we know well. Anxiety, regret, fear of the future, and the weight of our past can all crowd in at once. But Jesus speaks directly into that storm: Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Not because life is easy…
Not because we have everything under control…
But because He does.

Step by step, we learn that faith is not just believing God exists—it’s trusting Him with what we cannot fix ourselves. It’s surrendering the chaos, the cravings, the shame, and the uncertainty into His hands.

And then comes the promise:
“In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.”

There is room for you.
Not just someday in heaven—but right now in His mercy.

No matter how far addiction has taken us, no matter how broken things may seem, Jesus is preparing a place—a life, a future, a home—with Him. Recovery is not just about what we’re leaving behind… it’s about where He is leading us.

From today's gospel reading:

“Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master.” (John 13:16)

In recovery, this truth cuts right to the heart of Step One: we are not in control and that’s where grace enters.

We are not the Master—but we belong to One who is. Jesus Christ is Lord. And when we finally surrender—when we admit our powerlessness—we are no longer trying to sit on a throne that was never ours. Instead, we take our rightful place as servants, and that is where freedom begins.

In Catholic in Recovery, we don’t fight alone. We place our weakness into the hands of Christ, who is stronger than anything that has ever held us captive. What we could not do by our own power, He can do through His.

Today, let this verse be an invitation:
Stop trying to be the master.
Let Jesus be Lord.

Recovery begins not with control—but with surrender!

From today's Morning Prayer:

“The Lord frees prisoners,
He gives light to the blind,
He raises the fallen.” (Psalm 146)

In recovery, these aren’t just beautiful words—they are a lived reality.

Many of us know what it feels like to be imprisoned—not by iron bars, but by addiction, compulsions, shame, and patterns we couldn’t break on our own. And yet, the Lord frees prisoners. Not always all at once, but often one day, one surrender, one honest step at a time.

We know what it’s like to be blind—unable to see the truth about ourselves, about God, or even about the damage being done. And yet, He gives light to the blind. Through grace, through the Steps, through community, He gently opens our eyes to reality—and to hope.

And we know what it is to fall—again and again. But the good news is this: God is not waiting for perfection. He is the One who raises the fallen. Every time we turn back, every time we ask for help, every time we say “I can’t—but You can,” He lifts us up.

This is the heart of recovery: not self-reliance, but reliance on a God who restores.

If you feel trapped, confused, or knocked down—come. You don’t have to stay there!

“In the morning, fill us with your love; we shall exult and rejoice all our days…” (Psalm 90)

Recovery begins again today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Today.

God’s mercy doesn’t run on a clock—it’s not limited to one more chance or one last try. His grace is new every morning… and even every moment. No matter how long the struggle, no matter how deep the affliction, He meets us right where we are with fresh strength, fresh mercy, and a fresh start.

In addiction, we chased relief that never lasted. We tried to fill the emptiness on our own terms—and it left us more burdened than before. But when we begin to surrender—truly surrender—something changes. The very places of our wounds become the places where God pours in His love.

“Give us joy to balance our affliction…”

God doesn’t waste our past. He redeems it. The years of pain, the weight of addiction, the brokenness—we place it all into His hands. And in return, He gives us something we could never manufacture ourselves: real joy. Not fleeting, not dependent on circumstances, but rooted in His presence.

Today, let Him love you.
Today, surrender again.
Today, begin again.

You are not alone. Healing is possible. Joy is coming.

Join us Tuesday at 6pm in the Parish Building. Confidential. Christ-centered. Hope-filled.

“The Lord hears the cry of the poor.” (Psalm 34)

In recovery, we come to know something the world often misses:
poverty isn’t just about money—it’s about the heart.

It’s the moment we finally admit:
“I can’t do this on my own.”

That cry—raw, honest, sometimes desperate—is not weakness.
It’s the beginning of healing.

God does not ignore that cry.
He moves toward it.

In addiction, we often lived behind masks—pretending, hiding, managing.
But recovery invites us into truth… and God meets us there.

The Psalm doesn’t say:
“The Lord hears the perfect.”
It says:
He hears the poor.

The broken.
The humbled.
The ones who finally surrender.

That means no cry is wasted.
No prayer is too messy.
No past is too far gone.

If you’re struggling today—cry out.
If you’re healing—keep crying out.
If you’re free—be a voice of hope for someone else.

Because the same God who heard you…
is still listening.

CIR meets Tuesdays at 6pm. You are not alone.

In today's first reading we see that the first believers, transformed by Christ, lived in deep unity and radical generosity, bearing powerful witness to the Resurrection (Acts 4:32–37)

In recovery, we see this same Resurrection life made real.

We are people who have come out of darkness—out of isolation, secrecy, and brokenness—and have been raised into the light of truth, community, and grace. What the apostles lived, we strive to live: no longer clinging to what we have or hiding who we are, but offering our stories, our struggles, and our victories for the good of others.

“They were of one heart and mind.”
That’s recovery.

It’s the courage to be honest.
The humility to listen.
The grace to walk together.

And then there is Barnabas—whose very name means “son of encouragement.” He didn’t just believe in the Resurrection—he lived it by lifting others up.

That’s our call too.

In a world that tears down, recovery builds up.
In a culture of shame, we speak hope.
In the face of relapse or struggle, we become Barnabas for one another—reminding each other that new life is not only possible, it is already happening.

This is what it looks like to live the Resurrection:
To rise… and to help others rise too.

Easter is the heart of our hope.

The stone wasn’t just rolled away from a tomb…
it was rolled away from everything that keeps us trapped—sin, shame, addiction, and despair.

In recovery, we live the Resurrection one day at a time.
We bring our brokenness to Christ, and He brings it back to life.

“He is not here; He has been raised.” (Luke 24:6)

No matter how long we’ve struggled…
no matter how many times we’ve fallen…
the Resurrection says: new life is always possible.

Join us this Tuesday at 6pm.
Come experience the freedom Christ died—and rose—to give you.

In Gospel of Luke 4:16–21, Jesus stands in the synagogue and reads from Book of Isaiah:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind…”

Then He says something incredible: “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

For those of us in recovery, this isn’t just history—it’s personal.

Today, He still comes for the captive.
Today, He still heals our blindness.
Today, He still sets us free.

No matter what has held us bound—addiction, shame, or past wounds—Jesus doesn’t wait for “someday.”
He steps into today.

Recovery begins when we let Him do what only He can:
+ Open our eyes
+ Break our chains
+ Restore our dignity

Stay close to Him. Freedom isn’t just possible—it’s promised.

We’ve all been there—that moment where the pull for immediate relief feels stronger than anything else.

Scripture warns us about Esau, who traded something sacred and lasting for something quick and temporary. One meal… for a birthright.

In recovery, that story hits close to home.

How often have we “sold” our peace, our dignity, our relationships, even our relationship with God… for a moment of escape?

Addiction whispers: “Just this once.”
But it never tells you the cost.

The truth is, we are not made for scraps—we are made for inheritance.
We are sons and daughters, not slaves to cravings.

Recovery is learning to pause… to choose what is lasting over what is immediate.
It’s trusting that God’s promises are better than any quick fix.

If you’re struggling today, remember:
You are not your impulses.
You are not your past trades.
Your inheritance is still being offered.

Let’s not trade eternity for a moment.

🙏 Lord, give us the strength to choose what is good, true, and lasting—even when it’s hard. Amen

03/31/2026

In today’s Gospel, Simon Peter is full of confidence: “I will lay down my life for you.”
And yet, Jesus Christ gently reveals the truth—Peter will fall… and fall hard.

How familiar that feels in recovery.

We make promises.
We mean them.
We want to be strong.

And then… we stumble.

But here’s the hope: Jesus doesn’t reject Peter.
He doesn’t shame him.
He already knows the failure—and still calls him forward.

In Catholic in Recovery, we learn that honesty is more powerful than bravado.
Not “I will never fall again,” but “Lord, without You, I can do nothing.”

Peter’s story is our story:
Failure is not the end.
Denial is not disqualification.
God’s mercy is bigger than our worst moment.

Today, let’s surrender the illusion of strength
and embrace the grace of dependence.

Because the same Lord who foresaw Peter’s fall…
also raised him up to lead.

And He will do the same for us.

03/30/2026

From today's first reading Isaiah 42:1-7

There was a time when many of us lived in darkness—blinded by our struggles, bound by habits we couldn’t break, and confined by shame that told us we would never be free.

But the Lord speaks a different word:

“I have called you… I have grasped your hand… I have formed you, and set you as a light for the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement.”

Recovery is not just about getting better—it is about being sent.
The very places where we were once bound become the places where God now uses us to bring light.

Where there was blindness, He gives us clarity.
Where there was captivity, He brings freedom.
Where there was darkness, He makes us a light for others still struggling.

In Christ, our wounds are not wasted—they become a mission.

Today, ask Him:
“Lord, who needs the light You have given me?”

Because someone still sitting in darkness is waiting for the hope you now carry.
