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.

0:22.3	Hey there, Sprouts.
0:23.6	Today is Thursday, July 6th, 2020.
0:28.2	Today is also the feast day of the young Italian saint named St. Maria Garelli.
0:35.4	Now, this week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we are talking about freedom,
0:40.1	true authentic freedom, which is demonstrated through the lives of the great saints that we
0:46.4	are celebrating this week. Before we get back to that, however, please join me in praying
0:52.1	the prayer to the sacred heart of Jesus, which we are learning this
0:56.5	month as part of the Be a Saint Kids Club. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
1:02.9	Holy Spirit, amen. O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with a lively
1:15.2	sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly
1:23.7	obedient to your will. Grant good Jesus that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the
1:31.7	midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs,
1:41.2	your blessings on all that I do and the grace of a holy death, amen.
1:46.9	So we have been talking about freedom. St. Thomas the Apostle reminded us of our free will
1:52.6	to believe in Jesus or not. Pierre Giorgio Fassotti reminded us that we are only free when
2:00.7	we are able to do what we ought to do.
2:03.5	But St. Elizabeth of Portugal reminded us that true freedom we only will experience if we forgive those who hurt us.
2:11.7	And today, we are going to be reminded of authentic love, that we are only free to offer to other people
