Summary

We all, just like St. Augustine, struggle with feelings of restlessness. Things we think will make us happy don't. Pursuits that we think will lead to fulfillment don't. The truth is that our hearts will be restless until they rest in Jesus. And so, in honor of St. Augustine, who is celebrating a feast day this week, let's talk about how we can find rest for our restless hearts.

Monday: hear the biography of St. Augustine!
Tuesday: Understand that we, like St. John the Baptist, find rest in God by doing His Work.
Wednesday: Understand that we, like St. Jeanne Jugan, find rest in God by giving ourselves away as a gift of love.
Thursday: Understand that we, like St. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, find rest in God when we accept our true identity in God.
Friday: Understand that we, like all the saints, can only find relief for our restless hearts in silence and stillness with God.

0:09.6	The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:22.3	Hey there, sprouts. Today is, Spouts.
0:23.7	Today is Wednesday, August 30th, 2020.
0:27.5	Today is also the feast day of St. John Jung, the foundress of the little sisters
0:33.5	of the poor.
0:35.1	We are going to talk about her, but first, please join me in praying the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. In the name of the name of the poor. We are going to talk about her, but first, please join me in praying the prayer to
0:39.3	St. Michael the Archangel. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
0:46.0	St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and
0:52.5	snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
0:56.9	and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell, Satan,
1:04.4	and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. So this week on the Catholic Sprouts
1:13.2	podcast, we are talking about our restless hearts. Just like St. Augustine, we know that our hearts
1:20.8	are restless. They're dissatisfied in searching until ultimately we surrender and we rest in Jesus Christ. We saw this yesterday through
1:30.8	the life of St. John the Baptist, how we find rest in doing God's work, even when we struggle
1:37.0	with confusion and doubt, and even when we're a failure. Today we're going to talk about St. John
1:42.8	Jung and realize through her story that we also
1:46.9	can find true rest in Jesus Christ when we give away what we have, when we serve others,
1:56.5	and that we enter more into this restlessness and discomfort when we try to hoard what we have
2:02.5	and ignore the needs of others. So a little bit about our saint today, St. John Jung was born in
2:08.5	1794 in France. Now, in the years before her birth, France had gone through the French Revolution,
