What if one small book could change the way you pray all day—without leaving your daily life?

In this video, I share a book that Pope Leo XIV said—besides Saint Augustine—defined his spiritual life:
The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence.

This isn’t a theology textbook. It’s simple, practical, and deeply transformative.

In this episode, I walk through:

Why this book has shaped saints, popes, and ordinary Catholics for centuries

How The Practice of the Presence of God helped me personally grow closer to God

What it actually means to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

How you can live in God’s presence at work, at home, and in the middle of everyday life

Why simplicity, attention, and love—not perfection—are at the heart of real prayer

Brother Lawrence reminds us that holiness isn’t reserved for monasteries. It’s lived out in kitchens, workplaces, family life, and the ordinary moments of the day—when everything is done with God and for God.

If you’ve ever struggled with distraction in prayer, consistency, or knowing how to stay close to God throughout the day, this video is for you.
