More quotes by 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
To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.
Brother Lawrence
Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God.
Brother Lawrence
Men invent means and methods of coming at God''s love, they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God''s presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of him?
Brother Lawrence
My God, since you are with me and since, by Your will, I must occupy myself with external things, please grant me the grace to remain with You, in Your presence. Work with me, so that my work might be the very best. Receive as an offering of love both my work and all my affections.

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
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
The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.
Brother Lawrence
Let all our employment be to know God: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him.
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
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
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
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
It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
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
