Read your bible

if you want to grow, if you want to grow, if you want to grow…..,
Read

Welcome;
Ask: Does anyone remember what our theme was for last
Sunday? (flower and seed) And what did it symbolize? (it symbolized
the FAITH given to us by God that we have to nourish and take care of so that
it will grow)
Explain: Today is the Twenty-second Sunday of Ordinary Time.
Explain: In order to try
and understand what Jesus had to say, we must pay attention to His word and the
bible is where we find it.
Explain: We have been
talking about the new way of thinking that Jesus had been telling people
about. The things He had to say sounded really strange to the people
who were listening. It didn’t seem to make much
sense. Many people left Him. Some tried to trick
Him. Today’s Gospel is about one of those times.
//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..
Say: The first reading is from the book of Deuteronomy in
the Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures. (Deuteronomy
4:1-2, 6-8) It tells about what
Moses said about the laws that God gave the Israelites. Does anyone remember what we call the laws
that God gave Moses? <the
Commandments> Can anyone tell us one
of the Commandments?
Moses reminded
the Israelites that they had <as we have> a special God who is very close
to us and tells us exactly how to be close to Him.
The first reading today is taken
from the letter of Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8International
Children’s Bible (ICB)
Moses
Tells Israel to Obey
4 Now, Israel, listen to the laws and commands I will
teach you. Obey them so you will live. Then you will go over and take the land.
The Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving it to you. 2 Don’t
add to these commands. And don’t leave anything out. But obey the commands of
the Lord your God that I give you. 6 Obey these laws carefully. This will show the
other nations that you have wisdom and understanding. They will hear about
these laws. And they will say, “This great nation of Israel is wise and
understanding.” 7 No other nation is
as great as we are. Their gods do not come near them. But the Lord our God
comes near when we pray to him. 8 And no other nation
has such good teachings and commands. I am giving them to you today.
“This
is the word of the Lord”
All
say “Thanks be to God”.
Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< One who
does justice, will live in the presence of the Lord.....> Repeat 3x.
In today’s Gospel Reading, we are
going to hear how the Pharisees and the teachers of the law said to Jesus,
“Your followers don’t follow the rules given to us by our great people who
lived before us. Your followers eat their food with hands that are not
clean. And they asked Jesus, Why do they
do this?”
Please listen carefully but first, we
welcome the gospel.
Welcoming the Gospel
..with Alleluia!! -
Welcoming the Gospel
Chorus: Halleluiah, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
1. Eyende mbele, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
2.
Moto, moto, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah
Silently
say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips,
almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim3 your Holy Gospel.
We are going to do something that everyone
does in the big church Lord, let your Word be in
my mind <make a cross on forehead>, on my lips <make a cross on
lips>, and in my heart <make a cross on the left side of the chest>
The Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit.
The
Gospel Reading was written by Mark..
Mark 7:14-15,21-23 International
Children’s Bible (ICB)
14 Jesus called the people to him again. He said, “Every person should
listen to me and understand what I am saying. 15 There is nothing a person puts into
his body that makes him unclean. A person is made unclean by the things that
come out of him.
21 All these evil
things begin inside a person, in the mind: evil thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder,
adultery, 22 selfishness,
doing bad things to other people, lying, doing sinful things, jealousy, saying
bad things about people, pride, and foolish living. 23 All these evil
things come from within a person. These things make a person unclean.”
.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 ====
Ask: Does
anyone here ever get in trouble for not following certain
rules? Like maybe... talking with your mouth full? Or
forgetting to wash your hands before you come to the table? What are
some other examples? Here is my question: Does this make you a bad
person? or perhaps just a forgetful one?
Explain: The
people who were listening to Jesus didn’t understand why His disciples didn’t
all follow the same customs that the Jews did. The Jews felt that
everyone needed to follow these customs in order to please
God. Jesus replied that customs do not make a person good or
bad. Their behavior, what they do and why they do it, is what God will use
to judge them.
Let
us stand up to profess our faith
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.
