Summary
Fortitude is the supernatural gift of courage, which allows us to have the persistence to follow God's will, no matter what we might face. We see fortitude demonstrated not only by the saints, but also by the people of the Old Testament. Let's all pray for the gift of fortitude this Advent!

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:38.1 | Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Thursday, December 1st, 2022. Welcome to December. Today is also the feast day of an incredible English martyr, the priest Edward Campion. |
| 0:44.8 | Before we get to him, before we get back to the topic of fortitude, however, welcome to December, particularly to those in the B.S.A. St. Kids Club, we are embarking on a whole |
| 0:50.2 | new set of challenges. And we have a new wonderful patron saint, the saint from the early |
| 0:59.5 | time period of the church, St. Cecilia. Now she has many wonderful challenges for us about |
| 1:06.2 | singing, respecting our bodies, but she also challenges us to dig into scripture and to meditate |
| 1:13.4 | and memorize an important group of verses, especially during this season of Advent. So we together |
| 1:21.2 | during December are going to be memorizing Isaiah, two verses from Isaiah chapter 9, verses 5 and 6. So if you have your books, |
| 1:31.8 | you can follow along or you can grab a Bible. But let's really enter into scripture as |
| 1:38.2 | if it is truly prayer, because it is. These are sacred words from God. They are words that speak to our longing, |
| 1:47.6 | our desire, and there are words from Isaiah that the church has been praying since long before |
| 1:53.8 | Jesus was born in Bethlehem. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
| 2:00.1 | amen. For all the boots of the tram and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. |
| 2:06.4 | For all the boots of the trampling warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. |
| 2:09.7 | For a child has been born for us, a son given to us. |
| 2:14.5 | Authority rests upon his shoulders. |
| 2:16.9 | And he is named, wonderful counselor, |
| 2:20.7 | mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace. Hopefully those words sound really adventi to you, |
| 2:30.5 | and it's a reminder that all of our suffering is seen by Jesus. And he is coming. He sees it. |
| 2:38.1 | He is coming. So today we are going to continue in on the topic of fortitude. And we have a wonderful |
| 2:45.6 | saint today that demonstrates profound fortitude that is only capable through the supernatural gift |
| 2:54.0 | from the Holy Spirit. |
