| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:32.1 | Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Sprouts. Today is Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019. It is also the feast day of St. Francis Xavier. Now, |
| 0:37.2 | first, before we get back to talking about Advent, let's talk about this great saint, St. Francis, |
| 0:37.5 | Xavier. Well, St. Francis Xavier. |
| 0:45.0 | Well, St. Francis was born in France and he lived during the 1500s. He was one of the founding members of a great order that we still have in the world today. And that order has come to be |
| 0:51.8 | known as the Jesuits. |
| 0:59.3 | Now, St. Francis Xavier lived during a time where there were parts of this earth that had never heard the name of Jesus. |
| 1:01.9 | And he went as a missionary to many of those places. |
| 1:06.6 | First, he worked zealously to bring people back to Jesus in India. |
| 1:12.2 | Next, he went to Japan, and he worked hard to convert the hearts of the Japanese. |

| 1:20.7 | And even though the faith was not well received in Japan and the church was later persecuted, |
| 1:27.1 | he is the one that established the first |
| 1:29.4 | Christian congregations there. He also very much wanted to go to China to spread love for Jesus |
| 1:35.9 | there, but he was called to heaven from an illness before he got there. St. Francis Xavier was a |
| 1:42.3 | wonderful missionary. He went out into the world to spread the love of Jesus, |
| 1:47.8 | and we should be inspired by his example to do the same so that we aren't embarrassed to talk about |
| 1:53.6 | Jesus to our friends that might not know him. We don't have to go to India and Japan to be missionaries. |
| 1:59.6 | We can do it right here, right now. |
| 2:02.7 | Now, this week on the Catholic Sprouds podcast, we are going to start our walk through the |
| 2:07.3 | Jesse tree for Advent, but today we are going to keep looking at the concept of Advent and what |
| 2:14.1 | in the world it has to do with all of these characters from the Old Testament. |
