More quotes by Brother Lawrence
Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues.
Brother Lawrence
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.
Brother Lawrence
If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is further to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself if we desire it. Who will be so imprudent as to turn himself away, even for a moment, from the reverence, love, service and continual adoration which we most justly owe Him?
Brother Lawrence
Are we not rude and deserve blame, if we leave Him alone, to busy ourselves about trifles, which do not please Him and perhaps offend Him? 'Tis to be feared these trifles will one day cost us dear.

Brother Lawrence
How happy we would be if we could find the treasure of which the Gospel speaks all else would be as nothing. As it is boundless, the more you search for it the greater the riches you will find let us search unceasingly and let us not stop until we have found it.
Brother Lawrence
Let all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love: and if our love of GOD were great, we should love Him equally in pains and pleasures.
Brother Lawrence
I drove away from my mind everything capable of spoiling the sense of the presence of God.... I just make it my business to persevere in His holy presence... My soul has had an habitual, silent, secret conversation with God.
Brother Lawrence
It matters not to me what I do, or what I suffer, so long as I abide loveingly united to God's will - that is my whole business.
Brother Lawrence
We can do little things for God I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work afterwards I rise happier than a king.
Brother Lawrence
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it.
Brother Lawrence
That there needed neither art nor science for going to GOD, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, or for His sake, and to love Him only.
Brother Lawrence
Think often on God, by day, by night, in your business and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you leave him not alone.
Brother Lawrence
The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.
Brother Lawrence
I began to live as if there were no one save God and me in the world.
