0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:31.8	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Thursday, December 23, 2021. Today is also part of the fourth week of Advent. And if you are in my house, today is Christmas Eve's Eve. So I hope that you're both getting excited,
0:40.6	but also just waiting, waiting, waiting a little bit longer because it's not quite Christmas
0:45.5	yet. So this week we are talking about the incarnation with the help of both St. Thomas
0:51.8	Aquinas and St. Augustine and the great work, the Sumo Theologica.
0:57.7	We have talked about several reasons why the incarnation matters so much.
1:02.1	Those reasons are our faith, a fulfillment of hope, the greatest example of love, a perfect model in Jesus Christ, that God allows us to participate in his
1:14.2	divine life and that Christ became united with humanity in the most powerful way when he became
1:21.6	one of us. Now reason number seven from St. Thomas in the Summa Theologica is that the incarnation
1:30.9	reaffirms our dignity as human beings.
1:38.1	Now, I hope that you feel that you are a worthwhile person filled with dignity and loved by your creator.
1:48.2	But if you ever doubt that, the most powerful reason to believe is because God decided to
1:57.0	become someone just like you, someone with skin and a heart beating in their chest. Someone with
2:04.3	thoughts and questions. Someone who had to learn everything that didn't just know it from the moment
2:10.8	that they were born. Someone that built friendships that had friendships fall apart.
2:17.2	Someone that was part of a family.
2:20.0	But God himself became someone just like you. And because he decided to do that, he reaffirmed
2:29.3	just how special and dignified it is to be a human being.
2:36.9	This is a lesson that we not only need to learn about ourselves so that we're good to
2:40.7	ourselves and love ourselves.
2:42.8	It's also a lesson we need to remember as we deal with other people, right?
2:47.0	Other people can get on our nerves, other people, even if they're maybe strange or we don't know them, we can kind of look down on them.
