You're listening to the Catholic Sprouts podcast.

This year, we are reading through all four Gospels.

Join us as we invite God to plant seeds of faith in our lives through His Holy Word.

Hey there, Sprouts.

Welcome back to the Catholic Sprouts podcast,

where we are working our way through the Gospels this school year.

We are on day 17, reading from the Gospel of Matthew.

Today we are starting chapter 8, and we will be reading verses 1 through 13.

Now, we are going to start hearing stories of Jesus' healing, and one of them today is the healing of the Centurion's servant. I'm going to be reading from the

new American translation of the Bible. As you listen, please follow along in your own Bible and take

notes in the gospel in a school year notebook, which is a free download you can find by checking the notes for this podcast episode.

Remember my friends that God's holy word is alive and active, that he has a message just

for you in these words. So let's pray that our hearts may be open to receive God's message.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your spirit and they shall be created and you will renew the face of the earth amen in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit amen
