0:00.0	You're listening to
0:07.5	Catholic Sprouts,
0:10.6	the daily podcast for Catholic kids
0:13.5	that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:31.8	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Wednesday, January 15th, 20205. Today is also the feast day of St.
0:40.5	Morris. St. Morris, a very, very kind of unknown saint, was actually a disciple of St. Benedict.
0:43.9	So it is fitting that he has a feast day this week.
0:52.8	St. Benedict is one of the founders of monastic life and the rule that he wrote to guide monasteries has been used for over 1,500 years. St. Morris was one of the
0:57.4	first to follow St. Benedict, and he went on to found other monasteries that followed the rule of
1:04.9	life that St. Benedict had written. Today, we are going to dig into this rule of life from St. Benedict, but before we do that, please

1:55.9	your daily activities. So here's a little bit about St. Benedict. St. Benedict lived during a very difficult
2:04.5	time. For hundreds of years, the Roman Empire had controlled much of Europe, into the Middle East,
2:12.6	down into Africa. It had controlled much of the known world, and it ruled with an iron fist. But chaos ensued when
2:21.2	the empire fell. All of a sudden, nobody was in charge and it was just a very chaotic and dangerous
2:27.8	time to live. This is when St. Benedict was growing up. He moved to Rome to study and he was
2:34.0	disgusted by what he found.
2:36.5	Not only was it violent, but people had sort of forgotten how to practice the Christian faith.
