Episode Details

In this episode of Catechesis with Fr. Peter George Flynn, we journey into the timeless spiritual classic The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. Against the vibrant yet turbulent backdrop of 17th-century France—ruled by figures like Louis XIV and shaped by controversies such as Jansenism and Quietism—Fr. Peter explores how this humble Carmelite friar offered a simple but transformative path to holiness.

Drawing from Brother Lawrence’s own letters and struggles—including his battle with fear, scruples, and physical suffering—this episode illuminates how his spirituality differs sharply from the teachings of quietist thinkers like Madame Guyon. Fr. Peter shows how Brother Lawrence’s message is deeply rooted in authentic Christian hope, daily conversion, and continual trust in God’s loving presence.
