Children’s liturgy – Fourteenth
Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) –
5 July 2015
Colour: Green
Welcome;
Ask: Does anyone know what faith is? Explain: Another word for faith is Belief. If we
have faith in something, then we believe in it.
Say: Another way to explain FAITH is to say that you “see with your heart”.
Today we hear how Jesus was teaching with great wisdom, but the people found it hard to believe in him. Let’s listen and find out why.
Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< Lord, you are good and forgiving.>
//V// In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
//R// Amen.
//V// May The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
//R// And with Your Spirit.

Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord?

I will hold Your people in my heart.

rebelled and turned against me and are still rebels, just as their ancestors were.

Gospel Reading: The Gospel reading is
from the book of ...” Mark 6:1-6
We are going to do something that everyone does in the big church. We make three little crosses - 1 on our forehead- 1 on our lips - and 1 on our hearts. (forehead),We are asking God to help us understand His words , (lips) to help us tell others about His word and (heart) live His word. When we do this, we say : Glory to You, O Lord.
Jesus Is Rejected at Nazareth
6 Jesus left that place and went back to his
hometown, followed by his disciples. 2 On the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue.
Many people were there; and when they heard him, they were all amazed. “Where did he get all this?” they asked. “What wisdom is this that has been given him? How does he perform miracles?
3 Isn't he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon?
Aren't his sisters living here?” And so they
rejected him. 4 Jesus said to them, “Prophets are respected everywhere except in their own
hometown and by their relatives and their
family.” 5 He was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He was greatly surprised, because the people did not have faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
Then Jesus went to the villages around there, teaching the people.
The Gospel of the Lord”
“Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”

(*)Tell an interesting story according to the
Gospel and children’s level of understanding like in
the Gospel reflection: ==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
? Jesus was back in his home town and teaching in the synagogue. How did the people feel when they heard him speaking? Does anyone remember?
. They were very surprised. They couldn’t understand how Jesus, who they had known since he was a little boy, could have so much wisdom and teach so well.
? Why do you think the people were so surprised?
. They thought that they knew who Jesus was – the son of Joseph the carpenter. They thought Jesus was just an ordinary man, but he wasn’t.
?Why not?
.The people could not accept that Jesus was special. They did not believe in him.!
... Sometimes when we know someone really well we can forget how special they are. It can be hard to see past all the things we know about them, to what they are really like. And sometimes we forget how special the things that we do are, because they just feel ordinary to us.
?Can you think of something special that someone you know really well does?
– it could be a friend or a family member or someone else? And can you think of one ordinary thing that you do, that others might see as special?
Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,

Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
--bow down--
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried:
He descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From there He will come to judge the leaving and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Spirit:
the holy catholic church:
the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
