The Practice of the Presence of God: Day 11~The Gathered Thoughts of Br. Lawrence-Part II

In today's episode, we delve into the second part of “The Gathered Thoughts of Brother Lawrence,” Brother Lawrence speaks to the insufficiency of human understanding and articulation in grasping the infinite perfection of God. He expresses a yearning that resonates deep within many believers—a desire for a relational experience that transcends mere intellectual knowledge. The narrative emphasizes that it is through faith that we can illuminate our spirits and gain deeper insights into our Creator. For Brother Lawrence, faith stands as the quintessential virtue that opens the door to divine revelation and a rich understanding of God’s love, which can only be truly known through experience rather than scholarly pursuits.
