Part 2: Born into the Kingdom
- WATCH BROTHER FRANCIS: BORN INTO THE KINGDOM ON FORMED
  
  Login to your Formed account, and search for "brother francis born into the kingdom" to watch Born into the Kingdom: The Miracle of Baptism.
  
  We have some discussion questions to go along with the video. Depending on your kid's attention span, you can break the discussion into two parts, or save it for the end.
- DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR YOU & YOUR CHILD
  
  After the first half (around the 12:00 minute mark), take a minute to chat together:
  
  What did Brother Francis say the sacrament of Baptism does? (Answer: makes us squeaky clean, washes away our sin, makes us a part of a big family)
  
  How does Jesus make us part of his family? (Answer: he invites us into the family of God & special graces)
  
  Who is in God’s family?
  
  At the end of the video:
  
  When Jesus spoke to His disciples, what did he tell them to do? (Answer: Baptize in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)
  
  What happened at your Baptism? Parents, what do you remember about the day of your child's Baptism?
  
  Who are your Godparents?
  
  Do you have your Baptism candle?
  
  How can you make your light shine today? Name 3 things.
