Pope Leo XIV Just Recommended This Book | The Practice of the Presence of God

Why Did Pope Leo XIV Recommend This Book?

“One of you, there is a German journalist on here who said to me the other day, tell me one book, besides St. Augustine, that we could read to understand who Prevost is.

And there’s several I thought of, but one of them is a book called, “The practice of the presence of God.” It’s a very simple book, by someone who doesn’t even give his last name, Brother Lawrence, written many years ago.

But it describes, if you will, a type of prayer and spirituality where one simply gives his life to the Lord and allows the Lord to lead. If you want to know something about me, that has been my spirituality for many years.”
