Quote from Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, OCD: "Sometimes I think of myself as a piece of stone before a sculptor." Background: Adobe Express creates the following image in Firefly with the following prompt: “A bald, elderly 17th-century French friar with a joyful and serene expression, sitting alone on a simple wooden chair in a dimly lit monastic cell. He wears a well-worn brown habit. Using a wooden lap desk, he writes a letter by candlelight with a quill and parchment. The atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and prayerful. There are no other people in the room.”
February 12 marks the anniversary of Brother Lawrence’s death in 1691. Like him, may we let God shape us into His image. 🕊️
