Entrance Song:
Chorus
Father, I place into your hands the things I can
not do,….
For I know I always can trust you.
Welcome;
Today we hear how Jesus and his
disciples wanted to get away and spend a little bit of time by themselves. But
it didn’t quite work out like that. Let’s listen and find out what happened
instead…
//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.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
A
prepared child comes to takes the first reading or second reading..
The 1st reading St. Mark tells about the people who had
heard Jesus loved him so much that they followed him everywhere. The first reading today is taken from
the letter of Jeremiah 23:1-6
Hope for the Future
Jeremiah 23:1-6
23 How terrible will be
the Lord's judgment on those rulers who destroy and scatter his people! 2 This
is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the rulers who were supposed to
take care of his people: “You have not taken care of my people; you have
scattered them and driven them away. Now I am going to punish you for the evil
you have done. 3 I will gather the rest of my people from the countries where I
have scattered them, and I will bring them back to their homeland. They will have
many children and increase in number. 4 I will appoint rulers to take care of
them. My people will no longer be afraid or terrified, and I will not punish
them again.[a] I, the Lord, have spoken.”
5 The Lord says, “The
time is coming when I will choose as king a righteous descendant of David. That
king will rule wisely and do what is right and just throughout the land. 6 When
he is king, the people of Judah will be safe, and the people of Israel will
live in peace. He will be called ‘The Lord Our Salvation.’
“This is the word of the Lord”
All
say “Thanks be to God”.
Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< The
Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want...>
.Welcoming the Gospel

Alleluia!! -

Silently
say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips,

Gospel Reading: The Gospel reading is from the book of
..”
Mark
6:30-34 We are going to do something that everyone does in the big church
Lord, let your Word be in my mind <make cross on forehead>, on my lips

Feeding
the Five Thousand
30 Then
the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done
and what they had taught. 31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to
a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and
they did not even have time to eat. 32 So they departed to a deserted place in
the boat by themselves.
33 But the multitudes[a] saw them departing, and
many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 34
And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with
compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He
began to teach them many things.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 and the disciples decide to go away to a quiet
place so that they can be by themselves and rest for a while. They have been
working hard and must have been tired.
But what happens?
People see them going and decide that they want to
hear what Jesus has to say. So they hurry off to the place the disciples are
headed for. They get there first, so when Jesus and the disciples arrive by
boat there is already a large crowd waiting for them.
What kind of animal did you hear
about? <sheep> Why did he say the people were like sheep?
<because they followed Jesus around like they did not know what to do, they
needed someone to lead them>
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.
