0:29.6	Hey there, sproutsouts. Today is Wednesday, February 12th, 2025. This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we are talking about P for pilgrimage. We have already visited in our minds and our hearts, the Marian apparition sites of
0:40.5	Lords and Fatima. Today we are journeying on a pilgrimage in our hearts to the eternal city of
0:47.9	Rome. Before we dive into all that we could see and experience in Rome, please join me in our February
0:56.0	prayer, the Jesus Prayer. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
1:03.1	Amen. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. Amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

2:15.0	been easy sailing.
2:20.5	In fact, until roughly the year 300,
2:29.4	many, many Christians were killed in the horrible persecution. As the Roman government tried to stamp out the Christian faith, however, more and more people converted to the faith. They saw the witness of
2:36.7	the martyrs, and they were just captivated by Jesus Christ, God made man who loved them enough
2:44.3	to die for them. So even though many people died in the persecution, many more converted and the church grew.
2:54.5	Now, if you visit Rome the Eternal City, like 10 to 15 million pilgrims do every year, and guess what, the year 2025,
