About this episode

Fr. Gregory and Rebecca discuss the importance of hope and trust in God during spiritual dryness, reflecting on Brother Lawrence's life.

When our spiritual life feels dry, uncertain, or stripped of the consolations we expect, God may be doing some of His deepest work. Fr. Gregory and Rebecca discuss Brother Lawrence’s life and witness through the lens of hope and detachment, reminding us that in trials God doesn't invite us to be tough but rather to trust him more deeply. Today, we are reading Part 4: In Praise of Brother Lawrence, pages 111- 115. To get your copy of the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/catholicclassics
