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!’)
- He was in a terrible car accident.
- His brain was damaged, and he is now handicapped both physically and mentally.
- Yes. She didn’t have any moral obligation to marry him.
- When you are aware of the suffering to come and that there will be a lack of natural consolations in the relationship, it is unusual to still marry.
- God will never turn his back on us.
- God loves us when we are handicapped and unattractive to the rest of the world.
- We don’t deserve God’s love, but He gives it to us freely anyways.
Please pray for Ian and Larissa Murphy. Good news: in January 2017, Larissa gave birth to a son named Dietrich. You can purchase Ian and Larissa’s book on Amazon.

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!
