Summary

This week we will be exploring the saints who are celebrating feast days, and the great impact they made on the Church. Each of these stories reminds us of the power of the Holy Spirit, which enables us to proclaim the truth, face death with love and remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Here is a preview of who we will be discussing:

Monday is the feast day of St. Jose Maria Escriva. Learn about Opus Dei and how we can make our ordinary work holy!
Tuesday is the feast day of St. Cyril of Alexandria, a Doctor of the Church who taught clearly about the nature of Christ and Mary as the Theotokos.
Wednesday is the feast day of Irenaeus of Lyon. Through Irenaeus we have a special view of how the Faith passes from one person the next.
Thursday is the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul who, tradition tells us, where martyred in Rome on the same day (June 29th, 67).
Finally, on Friday we celebrate the First Martyrs of Rome, those brave people who died willing for Jesus after Nero burned down Rome in the year 64.

0:00.0	You're listening to
0:07.4	Catholic Sprouts,
0:10.5	the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:32.4	Hey there, sprouts. Today is Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Today is also the feast day of St. Cyril of Alexandria,
0:38.6	a man who lived in the late 300th, early 400s. And we're going to talk about his story today and the great contributions that he made to the church. But first, please join me in praying
0:44.4	the come Holy Spirit prayer that we too might receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and become
0:51.2	saints ourselves. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
0:58.5	amen. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
1:06.6	Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created and you shall renew the face of the earth.
1:13.6	O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
1:19.1	grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy his consolations
1:26.6	through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
1:30.7	So yesterday we talked about St. Jose Maria Escriva and Opus Day.

1:53.9	300 years after Christ ascended back into heaven, Christians were terribly persecuted in the Roman Empire. They were
2:03.9	arrested and killed, and the government did everything they could to force Christians to
2:09.6	renounce their faith and make sacrifices to pagan gods. However, in roughly the year 300,
2:39.4	the St. Helena actually brought the faith to her son, Constantine, who was the emperor of the Roman Empire, and after a victorious battle was won under the sign of the cross, he not only freed all of the Christians in prison, he ended the persecution, and he made the Roman Empire Christian.
2:41.6	And that was a huge turning point.
2:44.6	So Cyril of Alexandria lived shortly after that.
