Summary
Since Lent is only a few weeks away, it's time to review prayer and answer some big questions about why it is important we pray, and how we should pray.
+ MONDAY: If God is perfect and already knows everything, then why do we pray, and what difference do our prayers make?
+ TUESDAY: Most people treat God like a genie in a lamp. We should, instead, treat Him as our dad.
+ WEDNESDAY: What little gifts do we receive through unanswered prayers?
+ THURSDAY: God invites us to wrestle with Him and the plan He has for us through prayer.
+ FRIDAY: What are the types of prayer, and how does one flow the next?

| 0:09.6 | The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:22.3 | Hey there, Spouts. |
| 0:23.9 | Today is Friday, February 2, 2004. |
| 0:28.5 | Today is also the feast of the presentation. |
| 0:32.8 | This is the day that we commemorate Mary and Joseph bringing the baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem. |
| 0:41.0 | They were poor, so they could not offer the full offering prescribed by Moses, but instead |
| 0:47.2 | offered the poor man's offering of two turtle doves. They did this to fulfill the law of |
| 0:53.4 | Moses because they were faithful Jews. |
| 0:57.6 | This is also a beautiful and profound moment because two people are there in the temple to greet them. |
| 1:04.6 | Simeon, who has been waiting for the Messiah, and also Anna the prophetess. |
| 1:11.3 | And they both proclaim that this is truly the Messiah come, |
| 1:16.1 | that Mary will face many sufferings as well. |
| 1:20.6 | Now, this is a beautiful moment because it brings together the Old Testament |
| 1:24.8 | and the New Testament. |
| 1:27.2 | So today we kind of get to stand right in that beautiful |
| 1:30.3 | middle. In the Old Testament, it's all about the temple and sacrifice and the law of Moses |
| 1:36.7 | and the story of how God saved his people from slavery in Egypt, from exile in Babylon, |
| 1:43.8 | and how it all comes back to the temple. And then in the |
| 1:48.1 | New Testament, we have Jesus who fulfills the law, fulfills that Old Testament law. So let's just |
