The saints with feast days this week offer us powerful lessons on what it means to be authentically free in Jesus Christ. After all, as JPII said, "Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."
Monday St. Thomas the Apostles reminds us that through free will, and ability to love or reject God, we can have true Faith in Him.
Tuesday Pier Giorgio Frassati shows us that we are really free we are able to give what we have to others without fear.
Wednesday St. Elizabeth of Portugal shows us that true freedom requires our willingness to forgive and lead others to forgiveness.
Thursday St. Maria Goretti teaches us about authentic love that requires we are free from addictions and distortions of love presented to us in the world.
Friday the heroic story of Bl. Peter To Rot shows us that when we live for eternity with Christ, we are free to speak up and live boldly for Jesus, even in the face of persecution.

0:22.2 | Hey there, sprouts. Today is, Spouts. |
0:23.6 | Today is Monday, July 3rd, 2023. |
0:27.5 | Today is also the feast day of St. Thomas the Apostle. |
0:32.1 | Now, this week on the Catholic Spouts podcast, we are going to be talking about true, authentic freedom, mostly because |
0:41.6 | if you live in the United States, tomorrow is July 4th, which we also call Independence Day. |
0:49.0 | So we're talking about freedom a lot, but we need to make sure that we are really seeking authentic freedom |
0:57.1 | that we find in Jesus Christ alone. Before we get to that, however, it is July, the very |
1:04.9 | beginning of the month. We are moving on to all things July in the B.S. St. Kids Club. Our patron, the saint, is Blessed Pierre |
1:14.6 | Giorgio Fazzati, who has a feast day tomorrow. So we'll talk a lot about him then. And we also |
1:20.5 | will be learning a prayer to the sacred heart this month. Although the sacred heart feast day was |
1:26.1 | last month, it is always a good time |
1:28.9 | to draw closer to the generous, wonderful, burning heart of Jesus Christ. So if you will join me in |
1:36.4 | praying this brand new prayer, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
1:44.6 | Amen. Oh most holy the Holy Spirit, amen. |
1:50.1 | Oh most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing. |
1:57.9 | I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. |
1:59.9 | Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to your will. |
2:06.1 | Grant good Jesus that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my |
