Our Patron of the BE A SAINT KIDS CLUB this month, St. Josephine Bakhita, is an incredible example of forgiveness. And yet, it's hard to fully understand what forgiveness is and how we practice forgiveness. So, this week join us as we discuss what forgiveness is NOT, what Jesus taught about forgiveness, the steps to offering forgiveness, why we also have a reason to forgive and how God forgives.
This week the Catholic Sprouts Podcast is sponsored by the Augustine Institute and their new WORD OF LIFE SERIES, curriculum designed to not only teach the faith, but also enable children to become part of the New Evangelization. To find out more, head here: https://www.wordoflifeseries.org/

0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
0:23.8 | Hey there, Spouts. Today is Friday, February 17th, 2020. |
0:28.2 | This week we're talking about forgiveness, but first, please join me in praying the |
0:33.2 | Annamachristi. |
0:34.9 | In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. |
0:39.8 | Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, denibrate me. Water from the |
0:49.0 | side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds conceal me. |
0:59.3 | Do not permit me to be parted from you. From the evil foe, protect me. At the hour of my death, |
1:06.4 | call me, and bid me come to you to praise you with all your saints forever and ever amen so we've talked a lot |
1:16.9 | about forgiveness that it's not a feeling it's not no longer being hurt but it's also not justice |
1:24.3 | justice demands that we are paid back what we are owed. Forgiveness acknowledges |
1:30.3 | the hurt and the cost, but still says, I release you from what you owe me. Yesterday we heard from |
1:37.8 | Jesus on the cross when he said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. |
1:43.5 | And we're reminded that in every situation, |
1:46.1 | there is reason to forgive because those that hurt us did not fully understand. We're not called |
1:51.8 | to be friends with them again. We are called to forgive. So today we're going to talk about the |
1:57.0 | way that God forgives. And also we're going to talk about why bad things happen. |
2:04.0 | And we can still see them as part of God's plan. So first of all, how God forgives. |
2:10.5 | Now, we know that when we forgive, we do do things, something similar to God. First of all, |
2:16.4 | our first step is the same. God sees our |
2:20.1 | sins. He also sees the cost that it has on our relationship with him. Veneal sins, small sins, |
2:27.8 | they just put space between us and God. A mortal sin, really serious sins with a really serious intent. Those sever our relationship with God. We need to go to reconciliation before we can receive Holy Eucharist when we have committed a mortal sin. So God sees the reality of that. He sees this was something really bad that happened.
