Can you believe your eyes? These bystanders were confused until ‘the reveal.’ Look deeper to see how God’s pursuit of our heart can also be confusing! Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to share a suffering or difficulty that was initially confusing, but eventually brought growth, understanding, and even joy.

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!’)

Why were the bystanders so confused?

  • Because the chase between the police officer and the thief was unbelievable.
  • They went in one door and instantaneously came out of another door, which is impossible.

How are we similar to those bystanders when it comes to our understanding of what God is doing to pursue our hearts?

  • We get confused too!
  • We wonder how God could really be pursuing us when He allows us to face difficulties, suffering and death.

When everything was resolved at the end, how did the bystanders respond?

  • They smiled when they finally understood what was really happening.

What will happen at the end of our lives when we finally understand God's perfect plan for every moment of our lives?

  • We will rejoice and be grateful for every moment, every joy and every suffering, because they brought us closer to God’s heart, which satisfies us beyond anything we could ever imagine.
  • “Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor has it entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” – 1 Cor 2:9

Close with a prayer.

  • 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!
