How Your Family Can Be Heroes: Teaching Kids to Rescue Souls from Purgatory

Turn a dramatic rescue story into a meaningful lesson your kids will grasp. This faith-filled conversation starter for ages 5-13 inspires them to learn how to free souls through sacrifice and prayer. Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to memorize the 5 conditions to gain a plenary indulgence for a soul and commit to fulfilling those conditions the next time they go to Mass!

Some people strive to go to mass and fulfill those 5 conditions every day, so they can continually free souls.

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!’)

If you saw people trapped and you had the ability and know how to help them, would you?

  • Hopefully you would.
  • If you were trapped, you would want someone to help you.

Was there a sacrifice required of the helpers?

  • Yes.
  • Everyone who helped offered their time and labor.
  • A few of them even got burned.

Just like the helpers, do you now have the knowledge and ability to help free souls who suffer in purgatory?

  • Yes!
  • It will cost you some time and effort.
  • Similar to the heros who freed the family from the car, you will be a hero for freeing souls from the intense sufferings of purgatory!

Close with a prayer.

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!
