Episode Description: Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection (Letter 3, Page 57) "There is no way of life in the world more agreeable or delightful than continual conversation with God; only those who practice and experience it can understand this. I do not suggest, however, that you do it for this reason. We must not seek consolations from this exercise, but must do it from a motive of love, and because God wants it. If I were a preacher, I would preach nothing but the practice of the presence of God; and if I were a spiritual director, I would recommend it to everyone, for I believe there is nothing so necessary or so easy. Ah! If we only knew how much we needed God’s graces and help, we would never lose sight of him, not even for a moment. Believe me and make a holy and firm resolution at once never to deliberately turn away from him, and to live the rest or you life in this holy presence.” “Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection: The Practice of the Presence of God �" Critical Edition” by Conrad De Meester, OCD.
