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, Sprouts, welcome back to the Catholic Sprouts podcast.

We are reading through the Gospels this school year, and today is day 65 of this journey.

Today we are reading from the Gospel of Mark chapter 4 verses 21 through 25 where we will hear the parable of the lamp. I'm reading from the new American translation

of the Bible. Please consider taking notes or following along and let's remember that God's

holy word is alive and active.

So in prayer, let's open our hearts to receive his message.

In the name of the Father and of 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.

Nothing is secret except to come to light.

Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.

He also said to them,

Take care what you hear.
