Cross Examination with Mark Curran May 23, 2023 (No.11) with Author Father Carney

Cross Examination with Mark Curran May 23, 2023 (No.11) with Father Carney, Author of "The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destines to Save Society." Father Lawrence Carney describes how he wears a white cassock, which is useful when he walks the streets of a city. An inquirer may be drawn into a conversion about Jesus Christ as a result. He left Wichita, Kansas and is on a journey to meet thousands of people who want to talk about God, including fallen-away Catholics. His stories help put together his book The Secret of the Holy Face, which is why he came to Chicago to visit and spread the message.

Carney said in an interview last year that there are people he has encountered on the street who want to be baptized, who want to become Catholic. “I just go out and walk and pray the rosary. My mission is not to go to meet someone, it’s to pray to God and while I’m praying my rosary or my breviary, I’m talking to God – and when people ‘interrupt’ me I can share my contemplation with them and talk to them about God.” Our Lord and St. Francis Xavier spent nights in prayer and then would share that with people, he said.
