Check out the way Jewish parents bless their children. God wants parents to imitate Him and bless their children! If you click over to the full Family Conquest, the “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section encourages parents to practice giving their children a blessing or try a new sample one.
Spiritual Nuggets for Family Discussion
Open with a prayer.
(i.e. a Glory Be, or Our Father, or Hail Mary, or ‘Jesus, Mary, Joseph, we love You! Save souls!’)
- Since St. Joseph was a faithful Jewish father, he would have blessed his son Jesus.
- Yes! Two times God the Father’s booming voice came from heaven to bless Jesus, and everyone present heard Him.
- At the Baptism in the Jordan: “This is my beloved Son. My favor rests on Him.” – Matt 3:17

Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
DONATE HERE. Help us help families before it’s too late!
