JonMarc Grodi and Brother Rex Anthony Norris continue their discussion of the spirituality of 12 Step recovery programs with step #4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our lives.

They discuss the connection between this and the previous steps with the examination of conscience, the sacrament of confession, and the sacraments in general, and how the 12 Steps can help us to be open or re-opened in a new and more profound way to the grace and healing God wants to give.
