When You Least Expect Him!

My Little Omelet

'I flip 
my little omelet 
in the frying pan 
for the love of God.'

When I am With Him

'It seems that a tranquil soul and a quiet spirit come to me even while I sleep.... 

I don't know what God has in store for me, but I feel so serene that it doesn't matter.  

What do I have to be afraid of when I am with Him?'

Brother Lawrence

Make Way for Grace

"When He finds a soul penetrated with a lively faith, 

He pours into it His graces and favors plentifully.

There they flow like a torrent,

which, after being forcibly stopped

against its ordinary course,

 when it has found a passage,

spreads itself with impetuosity and abundance.

  Yes, we often stop this torrent

by the little value we set upon it.

 But let us stop it no more.

  Let us enter into ourselves 

and break down the bank which hinders it.

Let us make way for grace.

  Let us redeem the lost time"
