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, Spouse. Today is Thursday, July 22nd, 2021. Today is also the feast day of St. Mary Magdalene.
0:40.3	Now, all week, we are talking about the third beatitude. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
0:49.3	We've already talked about how meekness, to be like Christ and be meek, requires humility and patience.
0:56.8	We've also talked about how meekness requires great interior strength, that I'm going to be able to choose humility and patience, even when I'm mad and irritated.
1:01.6	Yesterday, we talked about how meekness will change the world when we have those one-on-one
1:07.2	conversations through humility and patience with those who look to us for guidance.

2:04.1	being the first person to proclaim that Christ has risen from the dead.
2:09.8	So she's an important character from that point on in the early church.
2:15.5	Now, of course, the life of St. Mary Magdalene after Christ ascended
2:19.8	back into heaven is not recorded in the Bible, but we have many stories for life that have
2:25.5	been passed down through tradition. And one of these stories explains why we die Easter eggs
2:33.9	at Easter. And it also is a great example for us of how we are
2:39.0	meek and yet bold and powerful and forceful when we humbly place ourselves in the hands of God
2:48.0	so that he can use us as his tool. So this story takes place, of course,
