It is the will of the
Great Spirit that we should meet here together this day. He orders all things
and has given us a fine day for our council. He has taken his garment from
before the sun and caused it to shine with brightness upon us. Our eyes are
open, that we see clearly; our ears are unstopped that we have been able to
hear distinctly the words you have spoken. For all these favors we thank the
Great Spirit and only Him.

Often,
I sense the deep meaning of the phenomenon of Alcoholics Anonymous, but I
cannot begin to fathom it. Why, for instance, at this particular point in
history has God chosen to communicate his healing grace to so many of us? Who
can say what this communication actually is--so mysterious and yet so
practical? We can only partly realize what we have received and what it has
meant to each of us.
It
occurs to me that every aspect of this global unfoldment can be related to a
single crucial word. The word is communication.
There has been a lifesaving communication among ourselves, with the world
around us, and with God.

Mystery take the garment from the Sun, that I may see, open my ears that
I may hear the Great Mystery.
