10 min - Episode 50 -- The Practice of the Presence of God -- The Ways of Br Lawrence-His Death and Final Preparations
How did Br Lawrence prepare for death?
We read about his faith and his loving abandonment into the hands of God. He prepared for death as he lived. He kept before his mind the truth about God. He lived by the truth of God's love and goodness. Whatever God allowed, Br Lawrence accepted out of love.
10 min - Episode 49 -- The Practice of the Presence of God -- The Ways of Brother Lawrence-Catholic Faith as Foundation
Do we need a Magisterium for guarding the faith of the Church?
Yes. Br Lawrence lived by faith, a faith that accepted all that God revealed. What God revealed has been transmitted to us in writing (sacred Scripture) and orally (Tradition). But this faith once delivered to the saints must be authentically interpreted and guarded by the living teaching authority of the Church (Magisterium), that is by the Pope and the Bishops in communion with him. Let us love living in the Church and pray for our leaders.
