The Practice of the Presence of God - Brother Lawrence

Tony

Brother Lawrence achieved an intimacy and closeness with Christ that few reach. It was so noteworthy that famous Bishops and Cardinals came to learn from him. He did this by seeking - once he was saved - to spend all of his time in the presence of God. No matter what he was doing - praying, working, fellowshipping, there was a constant line of communication with God.

As a result of this he found success in his tasks, peace, and joy. He was noted for his love for his fellow brothers at the monastery, for the way he gave to the poor and for the steadiness of his attitude no matter what.  

Here we learn more about his life, and his methods for doing this.
