0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouse, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:23.8	Hey there, Spouse.
0:26.9	Today is Friday, March 10th, 2020.
0:30.3	This week, we are talking about the Mass.
0:33.0	We are talking about the homily today in particular.
0:37.7	But before we get there, if you would join me in praying the surrender prayer,
0:41.5	in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
0:49.0	Take Lord and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will.
0:51.3	All I have and call my own.
0:53.7	You have given all to me.
0:57.8	To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours. Do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace. That is enough for me.
1:04.8	Amen. So this week we have talked about the liturgy of the word. We've talked about the first, second, and first and second reading, the gospel, the responsorial psalm, and we are talking about the homily. We talked a little bit about the history yesterday, but one thing we didn't talk about is that whether it was in the homily or outside of mass, the Catholic Church has a proud
1:29.6	tradition of preaching. Preaching. The disciples, the apostles, when Christ himself commissioned
1:38.5	them, gave them the Holy Spirit through Pentecost, what did they do? They went right down to the streets and they started
1:45.5	preaching. Then they went to the ends of the world and even when they faced martyrdom,
1:51.2	they continued to preach, to speak the name of Jesus, to explain scripture, to explain those
1:57.6	passages in the Old Testament and how God fulfilled them and what that meant for us.
2:03.8	So the priest, when he stands to give the homily, he is engaging.
2:08.2	He's becoming part of this proud tradition that we have as Catholics.
2:14.6	Even during those years after the Reformation, when the homily maybe wasn't included in
2:20.8	the mass, people were brought to the church through preaching, even if it was someone standing
2:27.0	in the middle of a public square, debating, and really calling people to a transformation. And that is exactly what a homily does.
