0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:33.9	Hey there, Sprouts, today is Spr, April 18th, 2020. Today is also Easter Monday, or the Monday of the octave of Easter.
0:38.7	Now, you might think that Easter was yesterday and that the celebration is done,
0:46.6	but you would be wrong if you thought that. We celebrate Easter as an octave. Now, if you remember from math, an octagon has eight sides and an octave has eight days, eight days of solemnities. So yesterday, Easter Sunday, was the first
0:58.8	holy solemnity. I mean, feast of feast, high day of celebration. Today is the second day,
1:06.7	and we will have solemnities for eight days total, ending next Sunday on Divine Mercy Sunday.
1:15.1	So my challenge for you, which I will remind you again at the end, is to keep celebrating.
1:22.5	It is still Easter. Pope John Paul II talked about how the octave of Easter is like one big long day, one party that
1:32.0	just keeps going. So don't stop partying. Now, this week on Catholic sprouts, we are going to be
1:40.7	talking about Easter, but we're going to be talking about it in terms of
1:44.7	mercy. Easter and mercy might not seem like two terms that go together, but the church tells us
1:51.9	that indeed they do go together. In fact, the octave of Easter, the eight days of celebration,
1:58.5	starts with Easter Sunday and ends with Divine Mercy Sunday,
2:03.7	which we will celebrate next week.
2:06.3	Divine Mercy Sunday.
2:08.8	It all started when Jesus appeared to St. Faustina.
2:12.7	He appeared, as you might know, as an image that we have all over the place now. Jesus standing there,
2:20.4	reaching out to the world in blessing, but also gesturing toward his heart, where rays of light
2:26.8	are shooting forth. Red rays and pale blue rays. The red rays remind us of the blood that came forth from Jesus as he died on the
2:36.8	cross, and his blood also reminds us of the gift of the Eucharist. The pale blue rays remind us of the
2:45.2	water that came from his side, and the waters of baptism that wash away our sins.
2:51.5	He directed St. Faustina to create a feast day, a feast of his mercy, one week after Easter.
