Brother Lawrence: nearer than we know

Wednesday, April 21, 2021
    Feast of Anselm, Abbot of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1109
Meditation:
The LORD is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
    —Psalm 145:18 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; he is nearer to us than we are aware of.
