The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence

Brother Lawrence (1614–1691)—also known as Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection—was a humble Carmelite lay brother in 17th-century Paris who discovered a deeply transformative way of life: practicing the presence of God. Whether stirring an omelet or mending sandals, he learned to remain in God’s company through simple, loving attention to the present moment. After his death, his letters and conversations were compiled into The Practice of the Presence of God, becoming a timeless guide to living prayerfully and joyfully in every ordinary act. A few of his cherished words: “We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.” “I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. … while I am so with Him I fear nothing; but the least turning from Him is insupportable.” “Turn your thoughts towards God as often as you can.” Credit: “The Practice of the Presence of God” by Brother Lawrence – Public domain audiobook recording from Librivox #spiritual #spiritualaudiobooks #brotherlawrence
