More quotes by Brother Lawrence
God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.
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
In the way of God, thoughts count very little. Love does it all.
Brother Lawrence
Do not forget Him but think on Him often. Adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious work of a Christian in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.
Brother Lawrence
Let all our employment be to know God: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him.
Brother Lawrence
The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.
Brother Lawrence
I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can and while I am so with Him I fear nothing but the least turning from Him is insupportable.
Brother Lawrence
The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.
Brother Lawrence
That all things are possible to him who believes, that they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.
Brother Lawrence
And it is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God.
Brother Lawrence
If the vessel of our soul is still tossed with winds and storms, let us awake the Lord, who reposes in it, and He will quickly calm the sea.
Brother Lawrence
In order to know God, we must often think of Him and when we come to love Him, we shall then also think of Him often, for our heart will be with our treasure.
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
It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence, under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.
Brother Lawrence
Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
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
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
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
The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees.
