Today you will hear Letter 6, in which Brother Lawrence defends his approach to spiritual practice, emphasizing a life dedicated to the constant awareness of God's presence.
Brother Lawrence shares his profound journey, illustrating not only the challenges he faced in the early years of his spiritual quest but also the transformative power of humility and faith. In his communication with a Reverend Father, he confesses that for a decade, he grappled with feelings of inadequacy and concern over his dedication to God. Despite such struggles, he discovered a deeper relationship with the divine, characterized by surrender and simple faith. He speaks candidly about abandoning traditional devotions that did not resonate with him, choosing instead to cultivate a quiet and habitual attentiveness to God, akin to "holy inactivity."
