Summary

Who are the real heroes? The saints! This week we have quite the line up for saints celebrating feast days, so let's reflect on their stories and marvel at what it means to be heroes in Christ's army.

+ Monday we explore the story of St. Mary MacKillop (although her feast day is Tuesday). She was the first saint from Australia and faced many hardships.

+ Tuesday we celebrate the feast of St. Dominic. Tune in to hear about his heroic life and the gift of the Rosary which Mary handed to him from heaven.

+ Wednesday is the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). She is the patron saint of this month in the BE A SAINT KID's Club and a wonderful example of heroic love during a terrible moment in history.

+ Thursday is the feast day of St. Lawerence, a hero from the early Church.

+ Friday is the feast day of St. Clare of Assisi. This stubborn, wonderful saint stood up to a barbarian army when she was too sick to get out of bed. amazing.

0:10.0	The Daily Podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:22.1	Hey there, Spouse.
0:23.4	Today is Friday, August 11th, 2020.
0:27.8	Today is also the feast day of St. Clair of Assisi, yet another incredible hero that
0:34.5	we can look to in the saints.
0:36.9	Before we talk about her story, though,
0:38.8	please join me in praying the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. In the name of the Father,
0:44.6	and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
0:52.8	Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
0:57.2	May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God,
1:05.3	thrust into hell, Satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
1:15.2	So this week we've talked about tons of great saints that were truly heroes and models for us.
1:22.0	St. Mary MacIllop from Australia, St. Dominic and the Rosary, St. Edith Stein in Germany, who died in a concentration
1:29.9	camp, and yesterday, St. Lawrence from Rome, who died in 250 as a martyr for the faith in quite
1:37.7	possibly the most heroic way possible. Today we are going to look to the 1200s in Italy and the story of St. Clair of Assisi.
1:50.4	So you might know about St. Francis of Assisi. He was a good friend of St. Clair. They lived in the same town at the same time.
2:00.4	St. Clair's story intertwines with Francis,
2:03.6	but it is a little bit different. So St. Clair was born to a wealthy family in Assisi. She was
2:10.1	expected to one day get married, be part of a strong family, and pretty much stay at home. But one day she heard St. Francis speaking, and he spoke about living this radical life for Jesus
2:23.8	Christ, where you owned nothing, devoted yourself entirely to prayer to the service of others,
