Brother Lawrence

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

"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."

"You need not cry very loud he is nearer to us than we think."

"We should fix ourselves firmly in the presence of God by conversing all the time with Him...we should feed our soul with a lofty conception of God and from that derive great joy in being his. We should put life in our faith. We should give ourselves utterly to God in pure abandonment, in temporal and spiritual matters alike, and find contentment in the doing of His will,whether he takes us through sufferings or consolations."
