0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:17.4	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Tuesday, January 21st, 2020. This week on the Catholic Spouts
0:28.9	podcast, we are talking about the sacrament of Holy Eucharist that we receive each time we
0:35.3	come to Mass. Now, before we dive back into this most incredible sacrament,
0:40.9	let's talk about today's incredible saint. Today is the feast day of St. Agnes. St. Ignis is one of
0:48.5	my favorites, and I hope you love her too, because guess what? She was a child when she became so holy and unfortunately
0:57.2	when she also died. So just like St. Sebastian that we talked about yesterday, St. Agnes also
1:03.8	lived in Rome and she lived when it was a crime to be a Christian. So she was a part of the early
1:10.1	church. Most of what we know about St. Agnes,
1:14.0	it's sort of clouded in legend. But we know for sure that she existed, and we know for sure that she was
1:21.5	killed for being a Christian. We also know that St. Agnes was born to a wealthy Roman family and that she was beautiful, beautiful.
1:32.2	And because she was both wealthy and beautiful, lots of Roman men wanted to marry her.
1:38.6	St. Agnes, though, had decided to give herself exclusively to Jesus, much in the same way that women today make vows to
1:47.7	become nuns. She wanted to just give herself completely to Jesus. Now, this is the early church,
1:54.0	so there weren't things like convents or even religious orders yet, but yet she had felt called
2:00.1	to just exclusively be for Jesus. Now, of course, this made a lot of
2:06.4	people mad, especially her father and others that wanted to marry her. And so they reported her
2:12.6	for being Christian. They tortured her. They put her in all sorts of situations, hoping that she would sin and turn her back on Christ, but she refused to do that.
2:22.3	Eventually, she was sentenced to death, and we hear that she went to death joyfully.
2:30.3	She was beheaded by an executioner, but she joyfully walked up to him and lowered her head,
2:37.1	knowing that she would join Jesus Christ, an eternal bliss in heaven.
2:43.9	St. Agnes is oftentimes represented by a lamb because the white lamb represents purity.
