» God asked him to do these things and gave him the power to do them, moment by moment.
All may of thee partake:
Nothing can be so mean,
Which with this tincture, For Thy Sake,
Will not grow bright and clean.
A servant with this clause
Makes drudgery divine:
Who sweeps a room, as for thy laws,
Makes that and the action fine.
This is the famous stone
That turneth all to gold:
For that which God doth touch and own
Cannot for less be told.
This is what Brother Lawrence knew: that every action he took was done for God, even if it
was washing dishes or peeling vegetables. Brother Lawrence did these things, not because he
wanted to (or despite the fact that he didn’t want to), but because God asked him to do these
things and gave him the power to do them, moment by moment.
