Brother Lawrence: continually praying

Commemoration of Rose of Lima, Contemplative, 1617
Meditation:
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
—Isaiah 55:6 (NIV)

Quotation:
In order to form a habit of conversing with God continually, and referring all we do to Him, we must first apply to Him with some diligence; but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.
... Brother Lawrence (c.1605-1691), The Practice of the Presence of God, New York, Revell, 1895, Second Conversation, p. 10 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You hear me when I call to You.
