說明/介言:
這一本小書,是法國羅籣地方,尼哥拉哈曼先生的言論與書信。他是一位下級社會的人,沒有甚麼學問;他曾當過兵,也作過小工。他在一六六六年,進巴黎的修道院作廚師。此後他改名為勞倫斯。他卒於一六九一年的二月,享壽八十歲。
這裡,一共有四次的談話,大概是他的朋友鮑夫先生替他記錄的。還有十六封信,是他自己寫的。他的言論與書信,只注意一件事:就是與神同在。不只在祈禱時,和神同在;就是在事務最忙的時候,也是念念不忘與神同在。他這樣作,真叫他的生命,越過越聖潔、越敬虔、越愛神,除神之外,宇宙和世界對於他,好像空白似的;有了神,就有了一切,即使下地獄他也甘心,他的心,常常充滿了神。他的光景,正像詩篇七十三篇二十五節所說的:『除你以外,在天上我有誰呢?除你以外,在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。』他與神同在的經歷,有四十多年之久。他以這為他的『寶貝』,所以他就孜孜不倦的勸勉人。他的話,好像膏油,能使人的靈命滋潤,凡全心愛神的人,都要看見他話的寶貴。

Practice of the Presence of God: The Best Rule of Holy Life by BROTHER LAWRENCE (Nicholas Herman c.1605-1691)

Nicholas Herman was born in Lorraine province, France in about 1605; he came from a humble background and was an unlearned man. He was converted in 1629, and after being a soldier and a footman for some time, he entered the religious community of the Carmelites1 in Paris in about 1649. It was there, as a lay brother, that he took the name of Brother Lawrence. He remained in the community until his death in 1691. While in the community he worked most of the time as a helper in the kitchen, it is in this specific surrounding that he became known for his simple, practical faith. His life was one of constant recollection, which he practiced in all circumstances and at all times.

During his lifetime, his influence became quite widespread throughout France as we see from his letters.

His writings, consisting mainly of conversations and letters, were edited after his death by Abbé de Beaufort and printed in two volumes: Maximes Spirituelles (1692) and Moeurs et Entretiens du Frère Laurent (1694)2. In these writings, we discover a very aspiring way of prayer consisting in a simple and constant practice of the presence of God. This he did by meditating unceasingly on the Godhead and by entertaining high thoughts of God.

His edited writings have been appreciated by thousands of believers, both of his own generation and of those that followed. François Fénélon for one quoted them often.

Brother Lawrence teaches us, that amidst outward affairs and daily occupations, it is possible to cultivate a life of contemplation. Every Christian has the ability, by the grace of God, to enjoy an ongoing fellowship with his Creator wherever he is and whatever he does.

In the preface of Abbé Beaufort’s edition we read: “[he was] a holy man who all his life had studied to avoid the gaze of men and whose saintliness is only fully seen now that he is dead”, “Those in the thick of the great world will learn from these Letters how greatly they deceive themselves seeking for peace and joy in the glitter of things that are seen yet temporal: those who are seeking the Highest Good will gain from this book strength to persevere in the practice of virtue”.
