Introducing The Story of a Soul with Fr. Lawrence Carney III
Fr. Lawrence Carney III discusses the autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul. He highlights the book’s popularity due to its focus on spiritual childhood and its ability to inspire charity. The transcript also includes a quote from St. Therese: “He does not call those who are worthy, but those He chooses to call.” This quote emphasizes that God calls the unqualified and then qualifies them.
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.
