==== 7:00 - 7:03 ====
Welcome: Today we hear
about a rich man who is greedy and tries to keep all his good things to
himself. Jesus taught us that we must share what we have with others. Let’s
think a bit about how we can share what we have today...
Focus: Memory
Verse
Luke 12:15“..”A man’s life is not measured by the many things he owns.””...”
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
May The
Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the

you all.
And with Your Spirit.

Liturgy of the Word
First
Reading. (Colossians 3:1 –4) St. Paul’s letter tells us to think about “things of heaven”,
which would be like “heavenly treasures”, because Jesus is in heaven. Let’s see if we can understand what he is saying
to the people in the early church (and to us!)
Today’s first reading is from the New Testament letter to the
Colossian people Colossians 3:1-4 (ICB)
Your New Life in
Christ
3 You were
raised from death with Christ. So aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is
sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Think only
about the things in heaven, not the things on earth. 3 Your old
sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God. 4 Christ is your[a] life. When he comes again, you will share in his
glory.
This is the word of the Lord, …
Responsorial Psalm
Happy are all who long for the coming of the
Lord
Introducing
the Gospel
(Lk 12:13-21) Today St. Luke tells us about a time that
Jesus told a teaching story. Can anyone
tell me what we call those kinds of stories that Jesus told? <parable> This parable is about a very lucky
farmer. He had a great crop one year and
grew lots of food. In the parable, the
farmer was only thinking about himself.
Let’s listen to what Jesus tells us about the farmer. 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 12:13-21 (ICB)
Jesus Warns Against
Selfishness
13 One of the men in the crowd said to
Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left
us.”
14 But Jesus said to
him, “Who said that I
should be your judge or decide how to divide the property between you two?” 15 Then Jesus said to
them, “Be careful and
guard against all kinds of greed. A man’s life is not measured by the many
things he owns.”
16 Then Jesus used
this story: “There was a rich man who had some
land, which grew a good crop of food. 17 The rich man thought
to himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.’ 18 Then he said, ‘I
know what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones! I will
put all my grain and other goods together in my new barns. 19 Then I can say to
myself, I have enough good things stored to last for many years. Rest, eat,
drink, and enjoy life!’
20 “But God said to
that man, ‘Foolish man! Tonight you will die. So who will get those things you
have prepared for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will
be for anyone who stores things up only for himself and is not rich toward God.”
“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 did the farmer do?
<stored all his grain> What was
the message in this parable? <discuss>
Do you think that Jesus meant that the farmer shouldn’t store anything
to take care of himself later? <no, but the farmer should think about and
plan to share his good luck>
One
thing that is clear is that you won’t need food in heaven. We spend a lot of time here on earth worrying
about things that won’t matter at all in heaven.
Can
anyone tell me something that we should think about that WILL matter in heaven?
<love, sharing, being a better person, forgiving others> Those are our true treasures.
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.
