| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:29.1 | Hello again Catholic sprouts. I'm Linda Roselle, the Tin Can Pilgrim, and today is Wednesday, |
| 0:36.5 | February 5, 2025. It is the feast day of St. Agatha, who was tortured and killed by the Romans in the year 251 after refusing to deny her |
| 0:41.4 | faith in Jesus. How was she so brave? Well, God sends us the strength to bear anything we face |
| 0:48.5 | in life, whether a small problem or a big one. You can talk with him about your problems and ask |
| 0:54.0 | him for help. Sometimes you |
| 0:56.0 | won't see how you are being helped, but he always answers our prayers. You can pray to God the |
| 1:01.5 | Father, Jesus who is God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit, three persons, one God. Ask your |
| 1:08.0 | parents for more about that. Today we will continue to talk about how to pray |
| 1:13.0 | with tabernacle art as we look, think, respond, and rest at the tabernacle. Let's explore |

| 1:40.3 | Again, these pictures may be part of a bigger decoration or the background of a scene. |
| 1:45.0 | You might even find them just on the top or around the sides of the tabernacle. |
| 1:50.0 | Flames, doves, and clouds all show us the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:55.0 | These images come from Scripture, like when Moses saw the burning bush and God spoke to him. Or when the Holy Spirit came to the disciples on the first Pentecost as tongues of flame on top of their heads. |
| 2:08.6 | Do you remember that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist? During Jesus' baptism, a cloud covered the sky and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove came down to Jesus. |
| 2:19.6 | So tabernacles often have a dove as a decoration to make us think about the Holy Spirit. |
| 2:25.2 | In fact, very early in Christian history, the whole tabernacle frequently was a model of a dove |
| 2:31.5 | and suspended above the altar on chains. These Eucharistic doves could be lowered |
