| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:37.7 | Hey there, Sprouse. Today is Wednesday, January 6th, 2020. It is also the feast day of another incredible North American saint. The saint comes from Canada, St. Andre Beset. Now, all week we have been talking about the domestic church, the idea that all families |
| 0:43.1 | are called to be a special institution created by God, an institution where we can become |
| 0:50.8 | holy because he is there, and this is called the domestic church. |
| 0:56.6 | Mothers model themselves after Mary. |
| 0:59.8 | Fathers model themselves after God the Father and St. Joseph, who was chosen to be the |
| 1:05.5 | foster father of Jesus. |
| 1:07.4 | Now, the third part of a family, of course, are the children. |
| 1:11.6 | And we have an incredible saint to talk about today, and we can draw some great insights into how we can become, all of us, become more childlike and more holy, especially within our domestic church. So St. Andre Beset was born in Canada, |
| 1:31.5 | and he had a pretty unremarkable life, really. He was born very poor, very frail, and he wasn't |
| 1:41.2 | very smart. In fact, he tried all sorts of jobs to support himself in his early |
| 1:47.3 | life, but he failed at almost all of them. He either wasn't smart enough or strong enough. |
| 1:54.1 | The one thing that St. Andre Busset was very good at is that he was very prayerful. Eventually, |
| 2:00.6 | he decided to join an order of monks, and they almost didn't |
| 2:04.5 | accept him because he just wasn't smart enough, and he was so sickly. They thought very soon |
| 2:10.1 | he would become ill, and they'd be forced to take care of him. Thankfully, they saw his devout nature, |
| 2:19.0 | and they accepted him, and he lived the rest of his life as a monk doing very humble work, like cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. |
| 2:27.7 | And he spent 40 years of his life working as a doorkeeper, meaning he was at a university and it was his job to open the door. |
| 2:38.6 | Now, very humble work. |
| 2:40.9 | He had no delusions of grandeur or pride. |
| 2:45.1 | He knew he was a simple man and he knew that everything came from Jesus. |
| 2:55.9 | Jesus was his best friend. And he also was very, very close to St. Joseph. He depended on this saint and on our Savior Jesus Christ. |
