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.

0:07.4	Catholic sprouts
0:09.6	The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:31.0	Hey there, sprouts. Today is Thursday, August 31st, 2023. Today is also the feast day of St. Joseph of Arimathea and St. Nick Demis. Hopefully those names sound familiar from gospel stories, and we'll talk more about these two men today.
0:40.6	But first, please join me in praying the Saint Michael the Archangel Prayer.
0:45.1	In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
0:50.4	St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. be our defense against the wickedness and sneers at the devil.
0:58.9	May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
1:16.7	So this week we are talking about our restless hearts, as St. Augustine called them.
1:22.2	We have realized that we can find rest and satisfaction for our restless hearts by doing God's work
1:30.8	like St. John the Baptist and by giving ourselves away like St. John's Young. Now today on the
1:39.0	feast day of St. Joseph Iveramathia and Nicodemus, we are reminded that we also can find rest and satisfaction
1:47.0	for our restless hearts when we embrace our identity in Jesus Christ. So a little about these two men.
1:57.8	So first of all, Nicodemus, we see him a couple of times in the gospel. First, we meet him in the
2:03.4	Gospel of John. At night, he comes to Jesus with questions. Now, he is a member of the Sanhedron.
2:10.4	So he is a Pharisee. And as you might know from the Gospels, Jesus has some harsh words for Pharisees, and Pharisees have some
2:20.2	harsh words for him. But Nicodemus became a follower of Jesus. He was curious about him. He didn't
2:28.1	understand everything Jesus had to say about new life and the Holy Spirit, but he was interested and we hear that he becomes
2:37.3	a follower. Now Joseph of Arimathea, we know a little bit less about him, but we do know that he
2:42.9	is a wealthy man who provided the tomb for Jesus, and that both of these men appeared after Jesus had been killed on the cross,
2:53.0	that they worked together along with some of the women who had followed Jesus
2:57.3	to remove Jesus' body from the cross,
