Brother of the Resurrection Lawrence

Brother Lawrence related that we should establish ourselves in a sense of God's Presence by continually conversing with Him.

He was pleased when he could take up a straw from the ground for the love of God, seeking Him only, and nothing else, not even His gifts.

Brother Lawrence said we ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speaking to Him frankly and plainly, and imploring His assistance in our affairs just as they happen.
