As a follow up to yesterday’s reflection I am so pleased to share something remarkable that Brother Lawrence says about the spiritual life:
“The most excellent method I have found of going to God,
is doing our common business without any aim of pleasing other people,
but purely for the love of God.”
So today I simply invite you to bring this truth to your daily prayer and to your daily life. And know that I will be praying for you to do this!
Oh Lord, may You grace me today to have all my thoughts
and every choice I make be strictly and completely
for the love of You and You alone.
May this way of living be my constant ambition and prayer.
And this I pray through Your Son, Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
forever and ever, amen!
