Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 * About Brother Lawrence " This sums up your entire call and duty: to adore God and to love Him, without worrying about the rest. " ~ Brother Lawrence ~ Brother Lawrence was a French monk who lived from 1611 to 1691. Prior to becoming a monk he was known as Nicholas Herman of Lorraine. As a young man he was a soldier, but after becoming a monk he lived a quiet life performing various domestic chores for his monastery. Nonetheless his sense of inner peace was so profound that other individuals were drawn to him for spiritual direction. When talking to these individuals, Brother Lawrence shared information about his own repeated efforts to keep his attention riveted on God no matter what business was occupying him. He reports that eventually this continual recollection of God became effortless and filled him with peace and joy.
