I have been working on a series of images to accompany Brother Lawrence’s Practicing the Presence of God. Here in the Diocese of Southern Ohio, we’re planning a series of retreats that are based on Brother Lawrence’s life and letters. It has been a joy to spend so much time with this great saint and mystic, a man of profound humility and simplicity. I’ve created a chapbook that contains a transliteration of the whole text of Practicing the Presence of God, and twenty-eight images. I’ve also created prayer cards with the quotes and images that I like the best. They’re meant for use during times of private devotion. In the following days I’ll be putting up separate posts featuring these cards, with some commentary.
