“I believe in the... communion of saints.”
SURELY if additional proof of its reality were needed, it might be found in the universal oneness of experimental Christianity in all ages and in all lands.
The experiences of Thomas à Kempis, of Tauler and of Madame Guyon, of John Woolman and Hester Ann Rogers, how marvelously they agree, and how perfectly they harmonize! And Nicholas Herman, of Lorraine, whose letters and converse are here given, testifies to the same truth! In communion with Rome, a lay brother among the Carmelites, for several years a soldier, in an irreligious age, amid a skeptical people, yet in him the practice of the presence of GOD was as much a reality as the “watch” of the early Friends, and the “holy seed” in him and others was the “stock” (Isaiah 6:16) from which grew the household and evangelistic piety of the eighteenth century, of Epworth and of Moorfields.

The Practice of the Presence of God is a collection of documented
conversations and letters that reveal the heart of this humble man.
He wrote "The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen ...
I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament"
Brother Lawrence's wisdom and spiritual
insights have helped bring
people closer to God for more than three centuries.
Throughout, he develops one great
theme,
best expressed by the Psalmist,
"In Thy Presence is fulness of joy"
