Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
In this
reading,
Nathan reminded King David of all the good things that
God did for him. Nathan also pointed out something King David did that wasn’t
nice. Listen closely to hear about God’s forgiveness.
Now give to
the child to start reading the first reading below.
Today’s
first reading is from the old Testament book of 2 Samuel
12:7-10 ICB)
7
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of
Israel, says: ‘I appointed you king of Israel. I saved you from Saul. 8 I gave
you his kingdom and his wives. And I made you king of Israel and Judah. And if
that had not been enough, I would have given you even more. 9 So why did you
ignore the Lord’s command? Why did you do what he says is wrong? You killed
Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites! And you took his wife to become
your wife! 10 So there will always be people in your family who will be killed
by a sword. This is because you showed that you did not respect me! And you
took the wife of Uriah the Hittite!’
2
Samuel 12:13-14 (ICB)
13
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”
Nathan
answered, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You will not die. 14 But what you
did caused the Lord’s enemies to lose all respect for him. For this reason the
son who was born to you will die.”
The word of the Lord, …
Responsorial Psalm
Lord, forgive the wrong I have done.
Introducing
the Gospel
In
the Gospel story, we are going to hear about washing feet. This sounds strange to us because it is not
something we do! But in the time and
place where Jesus lived...... people walked everywhere – no cars or planes. Many people were so poor that they did not own
shoes... so they walked barefoot or in sandals.
How do you think their feet looked?
<DIRTY> When a guest comes
to your house, you usually offer them a place to wash themselves up,
right? In Jesus’ time, you would have
offered to wash their feet (but you might forget to offer if the guest was a
good friend or family member).
..with
Alleluia!! -,
Welcoming the Gospel
You are welcome Lord of Lords,
You are welcome King of Kings
You are welcome Lord of Hosts
You are welcome Prince of Peace..
You are welcome here, Alle-lluia,
Alle..lluia Might God!!!
Silently say:” Cleanse my heart
and my lips, almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel to
your little children.
The Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit
The Gospel reading is
from the book of...”
Luke 7:36-8:3 (ICB)
Simon the Pharisee
36 One of the
Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him. Jesus went into the Pharisee’s house and
sat at the table. 37 A
sinful woman in the town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house.
So she brought an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 She stood at Jesus’
feet, crying, and began to wash his feet with her tears. She dried his feet
with her hair, kissed them many times and rubbed them with the perfume. 39 The Pharisee who
asked Jesus to come to his house saw this. He thought to himself, “If Jesus
were a prophet, he would know that the woman who is touching him is a sinner!”
40 Jesus
said to the Pharisee, “Simon,
I have something to say to you.”
Simon
said, “Teacher, tell me.”
41 Jesus
said, “There were two
men. Both men owed money to the same banker. One man owed the banker 500 silver
coins.[a] The other man owed the banker 50 silver
coins. 42 The
men had no money; so they could not pay what they owed. But the banker told the
men that they did not have to pay him. Which one of the two men will love the
banker more?”
43 Simon,
the Pharisee, answered, “I think it would be the one who owed him the most
money.”
Jesus
said to Simon, “You
are right.” 44 Then
Jesus turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do
you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my
feet. But she washed my feet with her tears and dried my feet with her hair. 45 You did not kiss
me, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in! 46 You did not rub my
head with oil, but she rubbed my feet with perfume. 47 I tell you that her
many sins are forgiven. This is clear because she showed great love. But the
person who has only a little to be forgiven will feel only a little love.”
48 Then
Jesus said to her, “Your
sins are forgiven.”
49 The
people sitting at the table began to think to themselves, “Who is this man? How
can he forgive sins?”
50 Jesus
said to the woman, “Because
you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.”
“The
Gospel of the Lord”,
“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:
==== 7:24 - 7:27 ====
Gospel Reflection.
Ask: What happened in this story? <a woman came to Jesus and washed his feet
with her tears> What did Jesus’
friend have to say about this? <that
the woman was not a nice woman and should not be touching his feet> And what did Jesus say? <let the children re-tell - he told a
story about a moneylender who lent money to 2 people... a LOT of money to 1
person and a little to the other.
Neither person could pay so the lender said not to pay him back. > WHICH person was more grateful to the
moneylender? <the one who owed the most>
Ask:
What was Jesus trying to say about the woman?
<that she was a sinner and would be more grateful for forgiveness
because her sins were greater than Jesus’ friends> Jesus is God and ALWAYS forgives...even when
people think they don’t deserve it. We
always need to forgive too, even when it is hard!
Ask the Holy Spirit to
guide you to do the right thing in the coming week.
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:
And
the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven,
and
seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From
there He shall come again to judge the living 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.

pray for the Church throughout the world: that it may work to bring forgiveness
and peace to all people. We pray to the Lord....

destroys many families: that they may know peace. We pray to the Lord....

We
ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you
