| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:28.9 | Hey Sprouts, I'm Clara from Holy Heroes. Holy Heroes is a Catholic company that strives to bring the joy of the faith to you and your family. Today is September 12th, 2022. This |
| 0:36.0 | week, I'm going to talk to you guys about Carlo Acutus. You may have heard of him. |
| 0:41.4 | He became a blessed in the Catholic Church in October 2020. But here's the crazy thing. |
| 0:47.6 | While a lot of people become blessed in the Catholic Church, there aren't a lot of people who |

| 1:46.5 | She said when Carlo was born, she really hadn't been back to church since her wedding. |
| 1:51.6 | Even though Carlo's parents weren't practicing Catholics and didn't really talk to Carlo |
| 1:56.7 | about his faith, he had a nanny when he was a little boy named Betta. Now, this nanny loved |
| 2:03.9 | Pope John Paul 2 and would talk to Carlo all about the Polish Pope that she loved so much. |
| 2:09.8 | And this inspired Carlo to not only also love Pope John Paul 2, but to start asking questions |
| 2:16.3 | about God and why Pope John Paul 2 loved him so |
