Brother Lawrence

Brother Lawrence
Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
Brother Lawrence
I desire only Him and to be wholly His.
Brother Lawrence
If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.
Brother Lawrence
The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life is the presence of God - that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you
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
That we need only to recognize GOD intimately present with us, to address ourselves to Him every moment, that we may beg His assistance for knowing His will in things doubtful, and for rightly performing those which we plainly see He requires of us, offering them to Him before we do them, and giving Him thanks when we have done.
Brother Lawrence
A little lifting of the heart suffices a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.
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
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
We may make an oratory of our heart wherein to retire from time to time to converse with Him in meekness, humility, and love. Every one is capable of such familiar conversation with God, some more, some less. He knows what we can do. Let us begin, then.
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
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
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
People seek methods of learning to know God. Is it not much shorter and more direct to simply do everything for the love of Him? There is no finesse about it. One only has to do it generously and simply.
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
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.
