What is sacrifice? Join us as we explore this important term and understand how it relates to our relationship with God and with other people. We have a great saint celebrating a feast day each day this week who will offer us all powerful lessons on sacrifice!
+ MONDAY: Learn from Blessed Laura Vicana that a sacrifice is a GIFT.
+ TUESDAY: Learn from Saint Marianne Cope why it is important we offer God the best of what we have or who we are.
+ WEDNESDAY: Learn from Saint Francis de Sales how to make each and every moment of our lives a sacrifice to God when we Ask, Offer, and Accept.
+ THURSDAY: Learn from Saint Paul about the greatest gift (sacrifice) you have every received, and how to celebrate that each time you attend Holy Mass.
+ FRIDAY: Learn from Saints Timothy and Titus about how God can not be outdone in generosity, and why we should never fear that we will be without when we offer something to God.

| 0:09.6 | The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:30.4 | Hey there, sprouts.. Today is Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024. Today is also the feast day of an incredible American saint, St. Marianne Co. Before we talk about her and all of the lessons that we can learn from her on sacrifice, |
| 0:41.4 | please join me in praying the prayer for students. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
| 0:50.3 | Amen. Lord, our God, in your wisdom and love, you surround us with the mysteries of the universe. |
| 0:59.1 | Send your spirit upon us and fill us with your wisdom and blessings. |
| 1:04.2 | Grant that we may devote ourselves to our studies. Through them, draw us ever closer to you, the source of all knowledge. We ask this |

| 1:21.6 | about sacrifice yesterday through the story of a child saint, Blessed Laura Vissana from Chile. Today we're going to continue to learn about this through the story of a child saint, Blessed Laura Vissana from Chile. |

| 2:03.9 | hard to serve the poor. In fact, she founded one of the first 50 hospitals in the United States, |
| 2:12.4 | with a focus on serving those who were most in need. And then, in 1883, she was relocated to Hawaii. |
| 2:22.9 | Now, you might think that that sounds like a fun place to go and relax in the sun, but she did not |
| 2:29.5 | go there to relax. St. Mary Ann Cope and six other sisters went to the island of Molokai. They went there |
| 2:37.8 | to help a dying priest, who was also a saint, St. Damian of Molokai. He had contracted |
