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.

Today is Day 18.

We are reading the Gospel of Matthew,

and today we are going to read the second half of chapter 8, specifically verses 14 through 34. In this section, we will read more about

Jesus' miracles, including the calming of the storm. Now, I am reading from the New American Translation of the Bible.

I encourage you to follow along in your own Bible as I read and take notes in the free

gospel in a school year notebook, which you can download right now if you check out the notes

for this podcast episode. Remember, friends, that God's Holy Word is alive and active,

that He has a word to share with us, us specifically today.

Let's pray that our hearts can be open to receive it.

In the name of the Father and the Son and of 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. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 8, verses 14 through 34.

Jesus entered the house of Peter and saw his mother-in-law lying in a bed with a fever.
