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

Brother Lawrence

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
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
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
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

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.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

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

A little lifting of the heart suffices; a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speak to Him frankly and plainly, and implore His assistance in our affairs.

The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees.
