In this discussion of the Fourth Conversation contained in the book, The Practice of the Presence of God and the Spiritual Maxims, we hear Brother Lawrence describe how easily the virtues of faith, hope, and charity can be practiced simply by perseverance in focusing on the presence of God in all things. This simple formula has transformed the lives of countless readers over the intervening centuries and was the reason that many visitors sought out this simple Carmelite monk in France in the 1600s. They wanted to experience the sublime peace and surety that he had in all his daily activities simply by remembering that God was with him always, and would not fail him. Indeed, he found this method to be a surer method of finding God than even daily prayers. God bless.
