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, Spouts. Today is Thursday, February 14th, 2019. This week on the Catholic Spouts

podcast, we are talking about purity. We started by talking about our Lady of Lords in

St. Bernadette. Then we reflected on our own pristine baptismal gown and how we need to

quest to keep it perfectly clean and to keep our hearts

pure. Yesterday we talked about modesty and how we need to keep certain parts of our body

veiled as respect for the wonderful loving God that created us. Today we are going to be talking about our eyes. Now, that might seem

like a funny thing to talk about this week when we're talking about purity, but we need to remember

that our eyes are like the windows to the soul. Many philosophers have saints have described it

that way. And a lot of the times, the things

that we see, the things we allow our eyes to take in can play a big impact on our purity. And like we said,

the things that we see and take in can stain that beautiful baptismal

gown that we had on our baptism. So we need to protect and really guard our eyes. Now, the

unfortunate truth is that in this world, there are lots of bad things that we can look at

and that we can allow our eyes to take in.

Most of these things are pictures or videos.

And there can be lots of different ways that they can be bad.

They can be overly violent.

They can use language that are not appropriate.

We can watch people acting in horrible ways.
