| 0:45.7 | Hey there, Spouts. |
| 0:50.0 | Today is Monday, November 8th, 2021. |
| 1:13.4 | Today also marks a very big day for us here at Catholic Sprouts. We are sharing with the world. The book we've been working on for two years. It's called The Saints and the Call to Friendship with Jesus Christ. To celebrate all week long, we will be sharing stories from this book, which we share exclusively inside of our app. |
| 1:20.0 | Each of these stories take an emotion or an experience that these saints felt, something you probably feel too, and we show how that thing, even though it was hard or painful, |

| 2:21.1 | begged for, bread, medicine, fresh water, and blankets. His heart grew heavy when he pictured the |
| 2:29.1 | suffering souls on board that ship. Africans captured and chained to the ship for two months will it cross the sea, |
| 2:38.1 | only to face a lifetime of slavery when it reached the new world. Overcome with sorrow, he knelt down |
| 2:45.8 | and prayed, oh Jesus, what can I do in the face of such evil? |
| 2:53.1 | Compared to the needs of those on board, his pile of supplies seemed pathetic. |
| 2:58.8 | And after he helped the slaves on this ship, there would be another and another. |
