“I found Him when I took leave of all creatures. I found Him in my inmost heart. When I am silent with men I am able to converse with God and with Him I always find perfect peace.”

For Reflection:           

According to Brother Lawrence, why would God be closer to us than water is to a fish (St. Catherine of Siena)? What three steps does he recommend we employ to find God? What must I do or do differently to incorporate these steps into my everyday life?

*Ascension of the Lord is a Holy Day of Obligation.  Some dioceses/provinces celebrate it today or the feast is moved to the following Sunday.  Check your local area!
