Brother Lawrence


"I began to live as if there were no one save God and me in the world." ~Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)

Practicing the Presence of God... four ways

Little interior glances -- simple moments of remembering, noticing, or just seeking God’s presence in the midst of whatever is going on.

A little phrase that Love inspires -- letting a word, phrase or image repeat itself quietly deep inside us as we go through our daily activities.

Conversing everywhere with God -- entering all situations with a sense of relationship with God, a trust in Christ being with us.

The loving gaze that finds God everywhere." -- an open, all-embracing contemplative attitude, in all times and places.
