Although a humble cook, Brother Lawrence learned the greatest secret of living in the Kingdom of God here on earth: communing with the Lord throughout our daily tasks. He mastered the art of living in the presence of God throughout the day. As he exclaimed, "I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring him, and loving Him with all my heart."

His abbot wrote about him: “The day I first saw Brother Lawrence he told me that God had granted him extraordinary grace in his conversion at the age of eighteen years...One day in winter, while looking at a tree striped of its leaves, and reflecting that after a time its leaves would appear again and then flowers and fruits, he received a lofty view of the providence and the power of God that his never been effaced from his soul. This view drew him altogether from the world, and gave him such a love for God that he was unable to say whether it had increased during the span of forty years since he had received this grace.”
