The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence is a spiritual classic. Everyone says so, especially Pope Leo XIV. I have about four or five copies, in my bookcase. So, I must have read them, correct? Then, why don't I remember anything I learned from The Practice of the Presence of God?
So, I reread one of those books. It didn't take me long to realize why I didn't remember reading the book. It's boring. It's not telling you anything you don't know. Like kids say, DUH!
The theme is to rely on God. Trust Him, in all things. Accept everything that comes along--good and bad, as part of God's plan. Abandon your own wants and stay focused on God.
A life of continuous mindfulness and divine connection is what God wants.
