The Prodigal Son — Part 1: When “Fun” Pulls Us Away | Catholic Bible Story, Guided Prayer & Family Reflection

This time, Jesus is telling the story, so step into one of Jesus’ most powerful parables with this imaginative, kid-friendly Catholic story meditation for families! In Part 1 of The Prodigal Son, we follow a young man who leaves his father’s home searching for happiness — only to discover how far his heart has wandered.

Perfect for Catholic families with kids ages 6–14, this episode blends storytelling, real-life kid examples, and a gentle guided prayer to help children reflect on small everyday choices and God’s constant love.

✨ Great for:

• Bedtime wind-down

• The school drive

• Sunday quiet time

• Family prayer moments

Parents — stay until the end for a few simple conversation questions you can use right away with your kids.

If you can, please share! And thank you for helping to change the world one story, one family, one child at a time!
