You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Monday, September 17th, 2018. This week on the Catholic Sprouts

podcast, we are going to be talking about evangelization. Evangelization. Do you know what that means?

Evangelization simply means bringing the faith to others.

Sharing our faith, our Christianity, our hope and love of Jesus, the wonder of Holy Eucharist, to share all of those things with joy to other people that might not know Jesus.

Or maybe they know him, but they don't understand him. Or maybe they don't really love him as they

should. So, evangelization. Why? Why should we bother other people and try to share our faith with them? I mean,

shouldn't we disrespect that some people believe some things and other people believe other

things? Well, my friends, we are called to share our faith with others because of one simple fact.

We believe and we know that our faith is the truth.

Now, that might not be a very popular topic because especially on the topic of religion,

we don't like to say that one person is right

and another is wrong. However, if we listen to Jesus in Scripture, the words that he actually

spoke to his disciples, Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life, meaning that the only way to really understand who we are

and to reach eternal fulfillment in heaven after we die is to believe in Jesus Christ.

Now, we don't just believe in Jesus Christ. We also have all the wonderful

richness of the Catholic faith. There is a big difference between Catholics and Protestants.

And though we don't have time to go into all of those things, the biggest difference is that Catholics have the Eucharist.

Now, most Christians go to a service on Sundays, but Catholics go to Mass, and at Holy Mass,

many things happen, but the climax of the entire Mass is the moment when simple and ordinary bread and wine

are utterly and completely changed into the true body and blood of Jesus Christ.

And therefore in the Catholic Church we have the unique blessing of being able to really be with Jesus.
