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 LawrenceWe 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 LawrenceHow 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 LawrenceLove sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.
