?Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God.?
Brother Lawrence was a simple French Carmelite lay brother who achieved profound intimacy with God through mundane activities. He taught that the highest communion with God is not reserved for extraordinary moments but permeates the very core of our most ordinary days. Spending much of his time in the kitchen of a Paris monastery, Brother Lawrence learned that our daily activities could be acts of worship, engaging in opportunities to ?practice the presence of God? by thinking about and loving God.
This practice can transform our lives and help us find peace and joy in the midst of chaos. It can help us connect with God more deeply and allow us to live our lives with more love and compassion. Featuring a foreword by Matthew Fox, author of Sheer Joy, this timeless spiritual treasure continues to illuminate the hearts of many who yearn for the comfort of the divine presence in a hectic modern world.
