Summary

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.

0:00.0	You're listening to
0:07.4	Catholic sprouts
0:09.6	The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:30.3	Hey there, Spouts. Today is Tuesday, July 4th, 2023. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that today is Independence Day here in the United States. In the larger Catholic Church today is also the
0:36.9	feast day of Blessed Pierre Giorgio,
0:40.5	the patron saint of the B.S.A. St. Kids Club this month,
0:43.9	and an incredible model of what true freedom lived out, even at a young age, really does look like.
0:53.1	So before we get to his incredible story, please join me in praying the prayer to the
0:57.6	sacred heart that we are learning this month in the B.S.
1:00.7	In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
1:07.1	Almost holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively
1:15.7	sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and
1:23.7	wholly obedient to your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you.
1:31.4	Protect me in the midst of danger, comfort me in my afflictions, give me health of body,
1:38.3	assistance in my temporal needs, your blessings on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death, amen.
1:47.8	So we're talking about freedom. Yesterday, we talked about free will and how love is really
1:53.8	only authentic love when it is freely chosen. Today, let's talk about Blessed Pierre Giorgio.
2:00.7	He was an Italian youth. He actually died when he was only 24 years old. He lived right at the beginning of the 1900s. He was born in 1901. Blessed Pierre Giorgio did not come from a typical Catholic family. In fact, his father, who was a powerful man who
2:20.4	owned newspapers, he did not believe in God at all. And his mother, although Catholic in name,
2:26.9	really wasn't practicing her faith. However, Pierre Giorgio was just so in love with Jesus,
2:33.9	present in both the blessed sacrament of the
2:37.0	Eucharist, and also in the poor. From a very young age, he struggled with academics, although he was
