Catholic sprouts

The Daily Podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Greetings young Squires Sprouts. Today is the 27th day in the fourth month and year of our

Lord, 2024. My name is Sir Roland Paterla and you're listening to Saturdays with Sir

Roland on Catholic Sprouts where every Saturday we discuss the art of Dragon Sane.

Today we continue our series on

our dragon slain maxims. Just a reminder, a maxim is a short pithy sentence that tells us a profound

maxims. Number one, try your best and trust in God's grace to do all the rest. And number two,

is highlighted in book three of our seven deadly dragons book series, The Yellow Dragon of Sloth.

That book is set to release on June 1st. As you know, sloth is a deadly sin that can make us spiritually lazy or bored, and we have little to know passion or zeal to live our faith.

Millions and millions of Catholics have been wounded by Acadia, the yellow dragon of sloth.

In fact, I would estimate that Acadia might be the least confessed sin and at the

same time the most common dragon. Why is that? Well, Acadia is a very cunning dragon and that it often

has no immediate symptoms. That might sound like a good thing, but in fact, it is a very bad thing.

Imagine if you had no pain receptors in your body. If you fall and break

your arm, it wouldn't even hurt. Or if you touch a hot burner, you wouldn't feel a thing. Again,

this sounds nice in theory, but what does pain do for us? Pain tells us something is wrong. Pain tells

us to stop doing what we're doing. Pain tells us to get help immediately. If you break

your arm, you're going to need to get that fixed and give it time to heal before you try to use it
