Episode 2 – The Story of a Soul: A Heavenly First Word
Explore the profound impact of Saint Therese of Lisieux’s early experiences and the virtues that guided her through life’s trials. Despite the sorrow of losing her mother and the challenges that followed, Therese’s unwavering faith and sincere love for others shone through. Fr. Carney explores her deep piety, nurtured by frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament and a devout family life, and relays how it helped her find solace and strength, reflecting a life deeply intertwined with the grace of the Sacraments. Saint Therese’s journey teaches us that facing trials with a spirit of faith and love can lead to profound spiritual growth and a foretaste of eternal happiness.
Episode two covers chapter two, part one.

Fr. Lawrence Carney
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.
