It was there, as a lay brother, that he took the name of Brother Lawrence. He remained in the community until his death in 1691. While in the community he worked most of the time as a helper in the kitchen; it is in this specific surrounding that he became known for his simple, practical faith.

Not a paraphrase or an abridgment, this version is a faithful rendering of the text in the spirit of the original work. Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth century Christian who had a dramatic spiritual awakening at the age of eighteen. Seeing a tree in winter, his soul suddenly opened to the presence of God. Within six years he had entered a Carmelite monastery in Paris, where he worked chiefly in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning. He practiced a simple and natural method. He merely turned his attention to the Divine Presence available at all times during any activity. He reports that he was as fully present with God while washing dishes in the kitchen as he was when partaking of the sacrament in worship. The profound peace and joy evident in Lawrence's life attracted many visitors, who sought to learn the secret of his unique spiritual practice. Originally published shortly after his death, this volume consists of personal conversations and letters, which communicate how one can experience God at all times. Also included in this edition are his Spiritual Maxims, a document that was discovered among his belongings after his death.

Book Synopsis Spiritual Maxims by : John Nicholas Grou
Download or read book Spiritual Maxims written by John Nicholas Grou and published by Fivestar. This book was released on 2024-03-09 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the French Jesuit Cadres, the Caracteres de la vraie devotion of Pere Grou - a work which ran into no less than forty- four editions - was first published in Paris in the year 1788. This was quickly followed by a further work on the same subject, but treated from a somewhat different and more practical angle, the Maximes Spirituelles avec des explications, published in the following year. In his Preface to the original edition, reproduced here in its place, the author says: 'At the end of the little work which I wrote on the Marks of true devotion, I promised to write another under the title of Spiritual Maxims, in which I would explain in more detail the means for practicing that devotion. The following work is the result'. The former book defined what true devotion is: its motives, its object and the means for acquiring it; the second outlined in greater detail, as he says, the means for practicing that devotion, always bearing in mind that, in Pere Grou's use of the word, devotion stands for the interior life or the life of the spirit.

Download or read book The Practice of the Presence of God and Spiritual Maxims written by Brother Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It may seem odd that one of the classics of Christian literature should be written by a man who spent most of his life in the kitchen. Yet it was the very ordinariness of his vocation that Brother Lawrence (1614-1691) felt allowed him, and everyone else, to draw closer to the love and presence of God. Born Nicolas Herman, Brother Lawrence had seen much of life as a soldier in the Thirty Years' war, but it was only as a monk in a Carmelite monastery in Paris that he claimed to find true tranquillity. The Practice of the Presence of God and Spiritual Maxims are the results of his wisdom; through recorded conversations with his friends and short reflections on the Christian life Brother Lawrence encourages us that spiritual experiences do not have to be found in church and that God is often waiting to meet us in our everyday lives.

Download or read book The Practice of the Presence of God and the Spiritual Maxims written by Brother Lawrence and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you imagine practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end? Wouldn't that be a foretaste of heaven? Wouldn't that be a sure path to your sanctification, to your realization of your destiny as a child of God? What Christian wouldn't seek such for themselves once they saw and understood? Once they realized God desired it for them too? No one is more well-known for living this practice of the presence of God than Brother Lawrence. And the greatest way I know to honor him is to encourage readers to seek the practice for themselves, rather than simply admiring Brother Lawrence for it. The best way I know to teach what he had to say and encourage others to imitate him is to pass on what he had to say in a manner that is not only accurate but also clarifies and expands on his themes. To pass it on with less regard for organization, flow, and literary flare; and far more regard for relating the original ideas with uncompromising honesty and clarity. Enlisting imitators of Brother Lawrence is what this adaptation of his work is all about. Your first glance at the cover lets you know that this book isn't just about Brother Lawrence and what he accomplished through God's grace; it's about you and I practicing the presence of God ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord, right here and now, day by day, moment by moment!
