Loving God and loving one’s neighbor are really the same thing.

Brother Lawrence

Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Hope Practice Three
The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.

Mean Practice Spiritual
If I were to be responsible for guiding souls, I would urge everyone to be aware of God’s constant presence, if for no other reason than His presence is a delight to our souls and spirit.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Delight Live Moment Soul
That all things are possible to him who believes, that they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.

God Prayer Presence
Let us fear to leave Him. Let us be always with Him. Let us live and die in His presence.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Depth Humble Soul
We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speak to Him frankly and plainly, and implore His assistance in our affairs.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Prayer Simplicity Speak
The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

GOD will not permit that a soul which desires to be devoted entirely to Him should take other pleasures than with Him: that is more than reasonable.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Desire Soul Worship
Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Joy Pain Sweet Love
We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Cake Grace Kings
That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.
