You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hey there, Sprouts.

Today is Monday, January 30th, 2020.

Now, this week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we are finishing up January and beginning February.

So we are going to spend this week talking about some incredible saints that we are celebrating the feast days of. But today, we don't really have a well-known saint to celebrate.

So we are going to review all that we have talked about during the month of January while we

have been under the patronage of St. Andre Beset. So to get started,

let's work on finally memorizing those verses from Deuteronomy that remind us of the true

foundation of our faith. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our 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. 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, when you walk on the road,

when you lie down, and when you get up.

So this month, under the guidance of St. Andre Beset, we have not only worked on memorizing those words from Moses

that remind us that we have one God, and in order to belong to him, we need to surrender all that we are,

but also that we need to practice hospitality, welcome people into our home,

and establish a covenant of friendship through a meal, and that we are called to pray for miracles.

Now, a big part of who St. Andre Beset was, was his devotion to one particular saint, and that saint was St. Joseph.

In fact, St. Andre Beset spent a large part of his life praying and then fundraising and working

with other people to build a gigantic chapel dedicated to St. Joseph, which you can all go and visit in Canada

today, if you would like. But he really was very close to the saint. In fact, when people

came back and said, Brother Andre, your prayers procured a miracle for us, He would always give that credit, of course, to God,
