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 LawrenceThat 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 LawrenceThe 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 LawrenceThe greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.
Brother LawrenceThere's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.
