  1. 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.

    Letter 11 to a nun (excerpt)
    17 November 1690
