| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:17.5 | Hey there, Sprouds. Today is Tuesday, October 15th, 2019. It is also the feast day of St. Teresa of |
| 0:31.1 | Avala, who was a Carmelite, who worked hard to reform the Carmelite order. This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, |
| 0:40.6 | we are talking about the first gift of the Holy Spirit, which is fear of the Lord. Yesterday, |
| 0:47.5 | we talked about how this is the first step on the ladder to holiness. And it is what we need to receive from the Holy Spirit before we can move on to the other gifts. |
| 1:00.7 | Now, this one is confusing. |
| 1:03.4 | You might be wondering, why is it a gift of the Holy Spirit to be afraid of God? |
| 1:10.3 | Well, first of all, being afraid of God is not what the gift is. Instead, |
| 1:16.6 | it is having a good and holy fear of the Lord. Now, let's talk about this a little bit better. |
| 1:24.9 | Okay, so first of all, fear. You may know that there are two types of fear. |
| 1:31.9 | There is rational fear and irrational fear. |
| 1:37.9 | Now, rational fear means that we're afraid of things that we actually should be afraid of. |
| 1:42.5 | For example, being afraid of a poisonous snake |
| 1:45.7 | is completely understandable. It's good to be afraid of a poisonous snake. Having an irrational |
| 1:53.7 | fear means that we're afraid of things that we shouldn't be afraid of. For example, being |
| 2:00.0 | afraid of carrots is an irrational fear. |
| 2:04.0 | So those are the two types of fears. |
| 2:06.2 | Now, what does it mean to have a fear of the Lord? |
| 2:10.6 | And why is it a wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit? |
| 2:14.8 | Well, according to the Catholic Catechism, fear is defined as avoidance of future |
| 2:22.1 | evil. Now, it's not necessarily that we're huddled in the corner worried and that we're |
| 2:27.9 | controlled by anxiety and fear. It's instead that we live in a way where we are cautious to avoid what is evil. |
