We Thirst: Christian Reflections On Addiction - Session 4: Spirituality

  • Saint Nicholas of Tolentine 910 Watkins Street Philadelphia, PA, 19148 United States (map)

"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” Saint Augustine



Saint Augustine knew well that when we stop trying to fill ourselves with people, places, and things, we will discover God and be set free from all that binds us — to live and love as He does. Session four is a beautiful spiritual journey (complete with a candle-lighting service!) that explores our restlessness, which is too easily masked by our modern distractions. This session also explains why spirituality is an important part of the recovery process and how it came to be at the foundation of so many recovery programs. The theological virtues of faith, hope, and love will be introduced to remind us that all things rest firmly in the hands of God.
