Our Lady of Good Success warned of the dark trials awaiting the Church in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Those trials confront us still â \" yet we are not defenseless. For there is a weapon that is powerful and protects but that we so often overlook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat weapon is meekness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeekness is not weakness.

Emil Kapaun.

Lawrence Carney was ordained for the Diocese of Wichita in 2007. From 2013 to 2022, he was chaplain of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, where he knew Sr. Wilhelmina. He has been a missionary priest in the streets of U.S. cities over the last decade, wearing the cassock and carrying a crucifix and a rosary in an effort to bring souls to the Catholic Church. In 2017, he began the League of St. Martin, a pious association of the faithful 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 has authored six books, including The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society. He travels the world giving missions, conferences and retreats on the Holy Face of Jesus in the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face with a hope to have one million enrolled in the Confraternities of the Holy Face.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Fr Lawrence Carney \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":67804828041373,"sku":"9798889116042","price":22.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_91541b61-c005-47db-bf3f-c09781fda4f2.jpg?v=1794384316","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-forgotten-virtue-why-meekness-may-be-the-secret-weapon-in-the-spiritual-life-9798889116042","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
