Text Quotes
Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God’s presence  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) It is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelet in the pan for the love of God  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) 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 Quotes) Good when He gives, supremely good; Nor less when He denies: Afflictions, from His sovereign hand, Are blessings in disguise.  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) I have abandoned all particular forms of devotion, all prayer techniques. My only prayer practice is attention. I carry on a habitual, silent, and secret conversation with God that fills me with overwhelming joy  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) Emptiness is that which frees us from religiosity and leads us to true spirituality  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) You need not cry very loud; he is nearer to us than we think  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) Do not be discouraged by the resistance you will encounter from your human nature; you must go against your human inclinations. Often, in the beginning, you will think that you are wasting time, but you must go on, be determined and persevere in it until death, despite all the difficulties  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) I did not pray for any relief, but I prayed for strength to suffer with courage, humility and love  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) Lord of all pots and pans and things make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates!  (Brother Lawrence Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes)
