Inspired by the Christ-centered friendships of Blessed Pier Georgio, let's explore Christian Friendship, through the example of some saints who were friends in real life!
Monday: hear the story of 16 French nuns, united in friendship, who bravely faced death and effectively ended the Reign of Terror
Tuesday: hear the story of St Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier, college roommates who baptized tens of thousands!
Wednesday: hear the story of St. Marcina the Younger, and the friendships she had with her siblings, most of which are now saints too!
Thursday: hear the story of Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi, and how their radical choice to follow Jesus made it possible for others to do the same.
Friday: hear the story of Sts. Felicity and Perpetua, two very different women who, united in Jesus, bravely faced death in His name.

0:10.5 | the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
0:29.5 | Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Monday, July 17th, 2020. This week on the Catholic Sprods podcast, we are going to be talking about friendship, true, authentic Christian friendship, |
0:38.5 | and examples of what that has looked like |
0:40.8 | from our saints in heaven. |
0:43.7 | But before we get to that, |
0:44.8 | please join me in praying the prayer to the sacred heart of Jesus, |
0:49.1 | which we are learning in the Be a Saint Kids Club this month. |
0:52.8 | In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the |
0:55.8 | Holy Spirit, amen. Almost holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing. I adore you. I love you. |

1:22.0 | the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, |

1:47.0 | teammates, and these are all important relationships. But as we learn when we look at the lives of |
1:54.6 | the saints, not all relationships play as big of a role in our lives as others. And in fact, through God's goodness, |
2:04.2 | he most likely has placed a couple of people in your life to be true Christian friends and |
2:10.0 | help you down the path to holiness. Now, one of the reasons why we are talking about friendship |
2:16.8 | this week is because of our patron in the B.S. A. St. Kids Club, Blessed Pierre Giorgio. |
2:23.4 | Blessed Pierre Giorgio was an Italian young man. He died when he was in his 20s. He came from a difficult family. |
