Catholic Sprouts,

the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Greetings, Young Squire Sprouts.

Today is the 13th day in the fifth month and the year of our Lord 2020.

My name is Sir Roland Peter Law, and you're listening to Saturdays with Sir Rolin on Catholic

Sprouts where every Saturday we discuss the art of dragon sling.

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. On May 13th of

1917, Mary appeared to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal for the first time.

The message of Fatima was one of praying the rosary and offering sacrifices for the conversion

of sinners. We've been discussing the Indigo Dragon of Gluttoning the last few weeks, and St.

Therese trained us how to make small sacrifices with great love to help save souls, just like

the message of Fatima. Last week we talked about the weapon of temperance that can help us resist

temptation and avoid eating too much food and drink. Today, in our final session about the indigo dragon of

gluttony, we must discuss the piece of armor that can protect us from this dragon. I've told you in the

past that a secret to successful dragon slaying is learning how to make good choices. And the way to make

good choices is to know the end goal and ask the right questions. Our end goal does become the saints and

dragon slayers God calls us to be. So I created a new piece of armor to help you. St. Paul only talked

about six pieces of armor in Ephesians chapter six, and there's seven dragons, so I hope you will

allow me to propose my own piece of armor. Even though this piece of armor is not mentioned by St. Paul,

it is in the Bible. Before I tell you what the armor is, I'm going to read Deuteronomy

chapter 6, verses 5 through 9, so you can see where I discovered the idea for this armor.
