Episode 19 – The Story of a Soul: From the Beginning of the World to the End of Time
Father Lawrence Carney III explores the immense desires of Saint Therese of Lisieux. The Little Flower emphasizes the importance of childlike self-surrender and the pursuit of love over mere spiritual consolations. St. Therese’s insights reveal a deep longing to serve God and others, highlighting themes of humility, generosity, and a desire for martyrdom as expressions of love. Ultimately, she teaches that Jesus seeks our love, not our works, inviting us to live out this profound truth in our spiritual journeys.
Father Lawrence Carney was ordained for the Diocese of Wichita in 2007. For five years, he walked the streets of US cities in cassock carrying a crucifix and a rosary in each hand in an effort to bring souls to the Catholic Church. In 2014, he was appointed as chaplain of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, where he presently serves. In 2017, he began the League of St. Martin, a pious association that prays for reverence, reparation, and reversion—the chief goals being enrollment in the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face and the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. He is the author of the TAN book, The Secret of the Holy Face.
