Daily Lenten reflections inspired by French Carmelite
Los Angeles Archdiocese launches daily Lenten reflections inspired by famous French Carmelite
This Lent, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is releasing a new series of daily digital reflections titled “God is With Us,” inspired by the wisdom of the Discalced Carmelite Brother Lawrence.
Inspired by the writings of the 17th-century French Carmelite, the daily reflections will “lead [the] faithful in recalling the presence of God in their daily lives,” according to a press release from the Archdiocese.
Brother Lawrence, born Nicolas Herman in 1614 in Lorraine, France, was a Discalced Carmelite known for his simple yet profound spirituality. After a military career cut short by injury, he dedicated his life to God, entering religious life in Paris as a lay brother.
