Quote of the day, 29 April: Brother Lawrence
What consoles me in this life is that I see God by faith. And I see him in such a way that I can sometimes say, “I no longer believe, I see, for I experience what faith teaches.” With this assurance, and by this practice of faith, I will live and die with him.
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, O.C.D.

Where in my life is God inviting me to trust Him so deeply that I begin to “see” by faith?
