0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:38.8	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Wednesday, June 1st, 2022. Today is also the feast day of St. Justin Martyr, a man who lived and died for the faith when Christianity was still illegal in most of the world back in the one hundredths. Kelly from Redbird ministry is back again to continue to talk to us about

0:52.7	Today's saints are St. Louis and Zelle Morten.

2:28.3	The Martin's last child was born on January 2nd, 1873.
2:33.9	She was weak and frail, and doctors feared for the infant's life.
