Brother Lawrence struggled during the early years of his religious life, a span where sorrow and desolation marked his spiritual pursuits. He was said to have no true taste for prayer and experienced nights filled with anguish at the foot of the holy altar—where his faith remained his only support. This testament to fortitude resonates deeply, reminding us of the night faced by saints such as St. John of the Cross. In a pivotal moment, Br. Lawrence arrives at a resolution of total abandonment—his heart crystallizing around a singular goal: to remain affectionately united to the will of God, making this unwavering dedication his entirety.
