FIRST "HEALING TRANQUILITY" -
"As the pain sub-
sides, a healing tran-
quility takes its place.
And when humility and
serenity are so combin-
ed, something else of
great moment is apt
to occur." (12 &
12, p. 61)
FOLLOWED BY "HUMILITY, ELATION & RELIEF" -
"As we complete
step five, we may feel
many emotions, among
them humility, elation, and
relief." "The fruits ... may
be apparent immediately
or gradually, but they
will appear." (OA 12
& 12, pg. 51)
"The true way to
soften one's troubles
is to solace those of others."
- Madame de Maintenon (1635 - 1719) 2nd wife of French King Louis XIV
