DESCRIPTION:
He also reveals his dream of a new order of priests, clerics and brothers, who walk and pray in cities around the United States in an effort to regain what has been lost. Father Lawrence Carney travels the country, walking the city streets in his cassock, carrying a crucifix, praying the Rosary and seeking lost souls. With so many lukewarm and fallen-away Catholics in our world today, it is easy to become discouraged. In his debut work, he writes of the many people he meets, the conversations that unfold and the divine appointments arranged for a priest who lives his life entirely for the salvation of souls. But, rooted in the joy of gospel promises, Father Carney proclaims hope.

New Evangelization, old-style Dr. Peter A. Kwasniewski [A review by Julian Kwasniewski.]Walking the Road to God is a moving account of the mission and dream of Fr. Lawrence Carney, a traditional priest serving now as chaplain to the traditional Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, in Gower, Missouri, and how he began to convert many souls by what he calls the “Hook and Line” method.The hook is the 12-inch crucifix Fr. Carney carries in his right hand, and the line is the rosary he carries in his left. He began to do this after reading this passage in Louis de Montfort’s True Dev. "A Masterpiece on Contemporary Street Evangelization" according to Scott Woltze. Fr. Carney's adventures on the street are a testament to the work of the Holy Spirit in the world, provided we are faithful and persevere. In this book he details a hundred or so encounters with people from all walks of life. Fr. Carney shows us the hand of divine providence behind the encounters, and yet emphasizes that conversions come about by "playing the long game". He's in it for life, and prays that God will send him brother priests to walk with him in a new religious order, The Canons of St. Martin of Tours.Fr. Carney himself is a delight. gretchen dyer said Great book, I am so happy to see a. Great book, I am so happy to see a Priest who has the courage to walk as Jesus did to get souls back to our Lord.
