Episode 6 – The Story of a Soul: God Did Not Wait for Me to Love Him
Father Lawrence Carney III reflects on Saint Therese of Lisieux’s early love and her understanding of divine affection. Fr. Carney highlights the Little Flower’s belief that true fulfillment can only come from God, not from imperfect human relationships. Therese’s insights on love, grace, and the importance of a personal connection with God illuminate the path to spiritual growth, emphasizing the necessity of fervent communion and total consecration to Mary.
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.
