Episode 5 – The Story of a Soul: Joy Too Great to Bear Without Tears
Father Lawrence Carney III details the formative years of Saint Therese of Lisieux. He emphasizes the Little Flower’s deep devotion, humility, and the importance of an interior life rooted in silence and meditation, which fostered her relationship with God. Through reflections on her childhood games, First Communion, and the significance of suffering, Therese illustrates that true glory comes from hidden acts of virtue rather than public recognition.
Episode five covers chapter four, 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.
