Lord of all pots and pans and things make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates!

Brother Lawrence

I began to live as if there were no one save God and me in the world.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

God Live Save World
Loving God and loving one’s neighbor are really the same thing.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Loving God Neighbor
And it is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Littles Others Saint Serving
If we are truly devoted to doing God’s will, pain and pleasure won’t make any difference to us.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Differences Pain Pleasure
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
Lift up your hearts to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
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.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Deceiving God Surrender Trust
Have courage then: make a virtue of necessity: ask of God, not deliverance from your pains, but strength to bear resolutely, for the love of Him, all that He should please, and as long as He shall please.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Bears Long Pain
It matters not to me what I do, or what I suffer, so long as I abide loveingly united to God’s will – that is my whole business.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Long Matter Suffering
Do not forget Him but think on Him often. Adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious work of a Christian; in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Christian Forget Thinking
I desire only Him and to be wholly His.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Desire Worship
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 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

Eternity Perfect Worship
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
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
What can God have that gives him greater satisfaction than that a thousand times a day all his creatures should thus pause to withdraw and worship him in the heart.
BROTHER LAWRENCE
