| 0:07.5 | Catholic Sprouts, |
| 0:10.7 | the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:22.6 | Hello, Sprouts. |
| 0:23.8 | Today is Wednesday, October 9th, 2024. |
| 0:27.7 | And today we celebrate St. Dennis and Companions. |
| 0:31.5 | My name is Father Andrew Hamilton of the Diocese of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. |
| 0:36.6 | St. Dennis died in 258 AD and was martyred for his faith. |
| 0:42.3 | He was born and raised in Italy, and then he was sent as a missionary to Gaul, or what we now call France, by Pope St. Clement. |

| 1:34.3 | because they know that the victory is already theirs in Christ. |
| 1:38.3 | And so, as a bit of humor, St. Dennis is remembered as the patron saint of headaches, because he lost |
| 1:47.2 | his head but didn't lose his life. St. Dennis preached the cross and he lived out the cross. Today, |
| 1:56.2 | Sprouts, we are going to go over the sign of the cross as a witness and as a symbol of our faith. |
| 2:03.6 | So often we make the sign of the cross, but how often do we think about what we are doing? |
| 2:10.6 | Whenever the Mass begins, we have signs of the cross. |
