Summary

This week we are doing a deep dive into the Anima Christi, an ancient and beautiful prayer for the Church. Together let's commit to memorizing this prayer and understanding it more completely, so that it can be our prayer of thanksgiving after receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.

Also, this Friday 2-10 is the Shipping Deadline for all Lenten Materials. Place your orders soon to receive materials in time for Ash Wednesday. Shop here: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/collections/jesus-tree

0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:26.5	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Wednesday, February 8th, 2003. Today is also the feast day of our patron of the Bia St.
0:33.0	St. Josephine Bakita.
0:40.6	An incredible saint, a saint that I named one of my daughters for. We're going to talk about her story, but first, if you would join me in praying
0:45.7	the Anima Christi. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
0:52.0	Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ save me. Blood of Christ,
0:58.8	inebrate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ strengthen me. Good
1:06.8	Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, conceal me. Do not permit me to be parted from you. From the evil

2:11.4	As her life continued, she was so severely beaten and so mistreated that she actually forgot the name that she had received at birth
2:22.2	and said she took on a nickname, Bakita, which in the native language means lucky, that she was
2:28.9	lucky to be alive after what she had suffered. And she suffered greatly. Eventually, when she was a young woman,
2:36.6	she was purchased by an Italian consul, which means this was a person from Africa, but they
2:43.6	were a diplomat, and so war broke out in the Sudan and her enslavers decided to flee to Italy. And it was there that they
2:54.3	placed their daughter under the care of Josephine Bakita in a convent so that they could return to
3:01.8	Africa. Now, this was the first time in this convent that Josephine Bakita encountered the faith,
