Synopsis
Three centuries old, Practice of the Presence of God remains one of the most valuable of the smaller spiritual masterpieces.
lt is composed of five parts: a spiritual biography of Brother Lawrence, an exposition of the way he practiced the remembrance of the presence of God, records of personal interviews, maxims, and letters.
Stressing union with God by means of the heart and love rather than subtlety and asceticism, this book inculcates the sane and realistic spirituality needed in our busy times.
This English translation, originally published in 1945 by The Newman Press is now retypeset in 2026 with the Introduction by Pope Leo XIV, in which its original Italian text accompanied the 2025 Italian edition of La pratica della presenza di Dio published by Libreria Editrice Vaticana.
