| 0:09.6 | The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:30.8 | Hey there, sprouts. Today is Friday, September 8th, 2020. Today is also the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In other words, today is Mary's birthday. Happy birthday, Mary? Now, that might sound like a kind of a funny feast to celebrate, but it's important. And in fact, the church has been celebrating this feast day for over 1,300 years. For a very long time. Mary has always been an important part of our |
| 0:59.0 | faith, and her very birth is reason for us to celebrate that Mary was born into a real |
| 1:08.3 | family like ours, that she was a real girl, that she felt what we felt |
| 1:13.9 | and had a family and friends, and yet she was willing to say yes, a full yes to God when he |
| 1:22.3 | shared this crazy plan with her to save the world, that through her, yes, Jesus entered the world, saved us |
| 1:32.2 | from our sins, waits for us in heaven now with his mother. So let's all just reflect today on |
| 1:38.6 | the heavenly birthday party of Mary, with all the saints gathered around her and Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit. |

| 1:59.3 | for herself. We her children, she simply wants us to use her as a |
| 2:05.8 | path to Jesus. So let's reflect on that today. And please join me in praying the fragrance |
| 2:12.7 | prayer that we are learning in the B.S. St. Kids Club this month. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen. |
| 2:20.7 | Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. |
| 2:26.0 | Flood our souls with your spirit and life. |
| 2:29.6 | Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly |
| 2:33.3 | that our lives may only be a radiance of yours. |
| 2:38.6 | Shine through us and be so in us that every person we should come in contact with may feel your |
| 2:45.3 | presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus. Amen. So we have talked about the first |
| 2:56.0 | command this week. God's command. He says, I am the Lord thy God. You shall have no strange |
