ORIGIN OF THE SERENITY PRAYER: A HISTORICAL PAPER The actual origin of the “Serenity Prayer” has been, over the years, a tantalizing, elusive and, some still feel, an unsolved mystery; intriguing to those of us at G.S.O. who have, at one time or another, attempted to trace the prayer to an authoritative, unimpeachable source. The prayer entered, unobtrusively, into A.A. history in the year 1941. It was discovered in the In Memoriam column of an early June edition of the New York Herald Tribune and the exact wording was: “Mother—God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Goodbye.” Some fifteen years later, reminiscing about this event, Ruth Hock Crecelius, our first non- alcoholic secretary, said: “It is a fact that Jack C. appeared at the office (30 Vesey St., Manhattan) one morning for a chat and during the course of which he showed me the obituary notice with “Serenity Prayer.” I was as much impressed with it as he was and asked him to leave it with me so that I could copy and use it in our letters to the groups and loners. At this same time, Bobbie B.* who was also terrifically impressed with it undoubtedly used it in her work with the many she contacted daily at the 24th Street Clubhouse…Horace C. had the idea of printing it on cards and paid for the first printing.” All the local members, including Bill W., felt its relevance immediately; As Bill said in A.A. Comes of Age, “Never had we seen so much A.A. in so few words.” On June 12, 1941, Ruth wrote Henry S., a Washington, D.C member and printer by profession, saying: “one of the boys up here got a clipping from a local newspaper which is so very much to the point and so much to their liking, that they have asked me to find out from you what it would cost to set it upon a small card, something like a visiting card, which can be carried in a wallet…here it is…would appreciate it if you would let me know right away.” Henry answered back immediately and enthusiastically: “…your cards are on the way and my congratulations to the man who discovered that in the paper. I can’t recall any sentence that packs quite the wallop that that does and during the day shown it to the A.A.’s that dropped in and in each case have been asked for copies. I sent you 500 copies in as much as you didn’t say how many you wanted. If you need any more, let me know. Incidentally, I am only a heel when I’m drunk, I hope, so naturally there could be no charge for anything of this nature.” This prayer, for most of the 1940’s called “the A.A. prayer” by members of the fellowship as well as others (by the late forties it became better known at the “Serenity Prayer”) has, as the Grapevine once noted, “been credited to almost every theologian, philosopher and saint known to man.” The Grapevine also noted that popular opinion in A.A. (1950) favored St. Francis of Assisi as the author.
