Summary
Feel like you are too "ordinary" to become a saint? WRONG! We have many saints who lived terrifically ordinary lives, but were deeply holy. One example is our BE A SAINT KIDS CLUB patron this month, St. Andre Bessette.
Listen in this week for examples of holiness in ordinary life and how all of the ordinary moments of your life are an opportunity to become holy.
Plus, don't miss this opportunity to join the BE A SAINTS KIDS CLUB! We have just a few kits for club members left, and once they are sold out we won't be offering new kits until August. Get yours here: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/collections/be-a-saint-kids-club

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:29.5 | Hey there, Spouts. Today is Friday, January 13th, 2020. This week on the Catholic Spouts podcast, we are talking about being holy, even when our lives are ordinary. So let's start by |
| 0:37.3 | working to memorize the verses from |
| 0:39.6 | Deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 4 through 9 that St. Andre Pesed has challenged us to memorize this |
| 0:45.7 | month. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. |
| 0:50.8 | Hear, O Israel, the Lord is your God, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. |
| 1:02.0 | These words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart and you shall repeat them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, |
| 1:11.8 | when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. Amen. So this week we have |
| 1:19.5 | talked about some pretty incredible but ordinary people that became saints, St. Andre Pisset, |
| 1:27.3 | who worked as a doorkeeper and in the laundry, |
| 1:32.0 | and was pretty much a failure at every job he ever tried to have, and yet became a wonder worker |
| 1:38.3 | through his prayers. We talked about St. Joseph, who was a simple carpenter, who was poor, and yet he became the adopted father of Jesus Christ and the wife of the Blessed Virgin Mary. |
| 1:51.6 | We talked about St. Trez, who was very ordinary, who died when she was only 24 years old, and yet she discovered a way to heaven for ordinary people called |
| 2:02.2 | The Little Way, where we simply do the small tasks of our day with great love. |
| 2:09.6 | And yesterday we talked about how all saints developed holiness in a hidden way, in their thoughts, in the quiet prayers of their hearts that |
| 2:21.4 | maybe were never spoken, but in the relationship they built with Jesus in their thoughts and how |
| 2:28.0 | we need to take our thoughts seriously and purify them and lift our minds to God as often as possible. |
| 2:37.3 | And so today we are going to wrap up this week on being holy even when we're ordinary |
| 2:42.6 | by following the example of St. Andre Beset and looking to St. Joseph as our example for how to be holy. |
| 2:53.0 | So to be holy like St. Joseph, first of all, number one, you need to keep Jesus and Mary |
| 3:00.4 | present in your daily life. |
| 3:04.1 | Present in your daily life. |
