| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:24.1 | Hey there, Sprouts. |
| 0:27.6 | Today is Thursday, November 21st, 2019. |
| 0:31.6 | It is also the feast day of the presentation of Mary. |
| 0:36.9 | Now, before we get to today's topic, where we are going to continue to talk about the gift of the Holy Spirit, which is |
| 0:38.2 | understanding. Let's talk about today's feast day. Now, today's feast day, the presentation of |
| 0:44.9 | Mary refers to something that Jewish families did when they had a new baby. They would take that |
| 0:51.1 | baby to the temple and they would dedicate that baby to God. |
| 0:57.1 | Tradition tells us that Mary's parents, St. Anne and St. Joachim, who are also the grandparents of Jesus, |

| 1:37.3 | they would live together, much like a monk and a sister, that they would just be together, but be completely dedicated to God. So today we're |
| 1:48.4 | celebrating Mary's parents' gift of Mary back to God. They said, thank you for this child. She is |
| 1:55.6 | yours to do your will. And we know that Mary did that better than anyone that has ever lived. |
| 2:02.8 | Mary also offers us a great way to really comprehend the gift of understanding. And I want you to |
| 2:11.8 | take away this point to Day Sprouts. The gift of understanding requires work. Sometimes we think that a gift, you know, |
| 2:22.4 | that we will just be like zapped by lightning and have these amazing gifts and qualities. No, |
| 2:28.4 | God can do that. But more often, he wants us to work. He needs us to work so that we can rub away the rough |
