Hey Spouts, during the months of June and July, we will not be having new content here on the Catholic Sprouts podcast.

Instead, we will be revisiting some of my favorite weeks of content.

And here is one of those weeks.

Enjoy!

You're listening to Catholic Sprouts.

The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hello, Sprouts.

Today is August 5th, 2018, and the Feast of the Transfiguration. This week on Catholic

Sprouts, we are talking about a very special path to holiness, the little way. The Little Way is a path to holiness that St.

Therese of Lusuf first told us about. Now, St. Cherez of Lusu was a French nun that lived

over a hundred years ago. She died when she was young. She was the youngest of a family of girls, and you might think

that you don't have anything in common with her. After all, she lived over a hundred years ago,

she spoke French, and she was a nun. But I think you do have a lot in common with her.

Now, unlike a lot of other saints in our Catholic faith, St. Cherez never performed any amazing miracles, and she never had any

spectacular visions of Jesus in Mary. Instead, St. Choraz was simple and a little bit ordinary, and dare I say, a little bit like us.

So St. Chavez developed a way for the rest of us to be holy. It's called the little way.

Now, while great saints of our Catholic faith might have gone and done

amazing deeds and experienced tremendous suffering and therefore climbed a steep and difficult

mountain to heaven, St. Cherez says there's a way for us that are little, and it's called the little way.

And instead of climbing a mountain, it's more like riding an elevator. Now, chances are you've ridden

an elevator before, right? It doesn't take a lot of effort, but you do have to agree to get on.

Now, the path to holiness, the little way, the elevator is not an ordinary elevator.
