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.

Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Friday, September 28th, 2018. It is also the feast day of St. Winseslaus.

This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we have been talking about angels. First, we talked about what an angel is and how it is a pure spiritual being that

angels. We talked about how unlike a fairy, they are real, how we won't become an angel when we die,

and how angels are not just softness and light, but actually the warriors of God.

Next, we talked about our guardian angel, and we practiced thankfulness that God has loved us enough to give us a protector to guard us and guide us each day.

Yesterday we talked about the fallen angels and how St. Michael, the archangel, can protect us

in battle against Satan and temptations that we face every day.

Today we are going to talk about the other two

archangels that we hear about in scripture. We are going to talk about St. Gabriel and

St. Raphael. All three of these guardian angels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael,

are celebrated tomorrow in a great feast day. Now, let's first talk about

Tobit, and he is a traveling companion. St. Gabriel is probably the one that you have heard of more. St. Gabriel appeared to

Daniel when he was in the lion's den, but he also appeared in the New Testament. He appeared to

Mary at the enunciation and announced to her that she would bear a child and that child would be the son of God
