| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:29.9 | Hi there, sprouts. Today is Friday, February 4th, 2022. I'm Sister Sidney Moss, a daughter of Mary, |
| 0:36.1 | help of Christians. This week, we've been talking about vocations. And today I want to talk about a very important word tied into your vocation, discernment. |
| 0:40.3 | Discernment is prayerfully taking the time to discover what God is calling you to. |
| 0:45.8 | You will not only discern your big vocation to marriage or religious life or the priesthood. |
| 0:51.8 | There will be many things you need to discern in your lifetime. |
| 0:55.2 | One day you'll discern which high school you should go to, and then which college you should |
| 0:59.4 | attend, and then which job you should apply for. Those are all big steps that you need to discern |
| 1:05.6 | with God's help to make sure you do the right thing. And then when it's time to discern your vocation, |
| 1:12.4 | it will be much easier because you will already know how to really listen to God. |
| 1:17.4 | I want to tell you a story about another one of our Salesian blesseds. Her name is |

| 1:31.8 | Chile and moved to Argentina. Unfortunately, her dad got very sick and passed away, and her mom was left |
| 1:39.3 | with Laura and her little sister. When they arrived in Argentina, they lived with a man who was a very wealthy |
| 1:46.4 | landowner. This man didn't really take very good care of Laura's mom and her family, |
| 1:52.1 | but the mom felt like she needed to stay there so that she could physically and materially provide |
| 1:58.0 | for her daughters, even though she wasn't spiritually providing for them. |
| 2:03.0 | The one good thing is that this man did agree to pay for the tuition so that Laura and her |
| 2:08.6 | sister could go study at our Salesian sister school in Argentina. |
| 2:13.1 | So when Laura was nine years old, she and her sister went to live with the sisters at the school |
| 2:17.9 | because it was too far to travel between their house and the school. |
| 2:22.6 | When Laura was studying there, she realized that her mom was not living a holy life. |
