“I have quitted all forms of devotion and all set prayers except those to which my position as a friar obliges me. Now my only business is to remain in the holy presence of God . . . or better, in an habitual, silent and hidden conversation with God, a thing of joy and inward rapture not to be expressed before others.” -Brother Lawrence
“With me, my time of action is no longer different than my time of prayer. Amid the clatter and confusion of my kitchen, when numerous people are calling orders, I possess God, and with as great tranquility as though I were on my knees at the blessed sacrament . . . In his service I turn the cake that is in the pan before me. When that service is done, I kneel in submission before Him, for it is through his grace that I have this work to do. Then I rise happier than a King. For me it is enough that I but pick up a straw from the ground for love of him.” -Brother Lawrence
“We should so rule our actions that they be little acts of tribute to God.” -Brother Lawrence
