Welcome: Today is the
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Sometimes
when we really follow Jesus’ law of love, it is hard. Others around us, even in our family
sometimes, won’t always follow the path of love and forgiveness. When we do something different, it divides us
from others. Jesus knows that following
him can be difficult!
Focus: Memory
Verse
Luke 12:49“.. “I came to set the earth on fire”...”
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
love of God,
And the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with
you all.
And with Your Spirit.

Liturgy of the
Word
In Today’s 1st
reading, Jeremiah was a prophet who did what God asked him to do. Some of the people who heard him didn’t like
what he had to say. Let’s listen closely
to find out what they did to Jeremiah.
Today’s first reading is from the old Testament book of Jeremiah 38:4-6,
8-10
4 Then
the officials said to the king, “This man ought to be put to death, because he
is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, and all the people, by
speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking the welfare of this
people, but their harm.” 5 King
Zedekiah said, “Here he is; he is in your hands; for the king is powerless
against you.” 6 So
they took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son,
which was in the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down by ropes. Now there
was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.
8 So
Ebed-melech left the king’s house and spoke to the king, 9 “My lord king,
these men have acted wickedly in all they did to the prophet Jeremiah by
throwing him into the cistern to die there of hunger, for there is no bread
left in the city.”10 Then the king
commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,[a] “Take three men
with you from here, and pull the prophet Jeremiah up from the cistern before he
dies.”
This is the word of the Lord, …
Responsorial Psalm
Lord, come to my aid!
Introducing the Gospel
In the
Gospel today, Jesus tells us that he didn’t come to earth to bring us
peace. He came to make changes but
changes are hard for us. Why might we have to change in order to love
others? <because sometimes we are
selfish and think only of ourselves, or sometimes we have to learn to be nice
to ourselves as well as others>
With Alleluia!!, let’s
welcome the Gospel.!!
Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lluia,
Lets praise the Lord,
Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lluia,
Lets praise the Lord,
Alle-luia, Lets Praise the Lord
Alle-luia, Lets Praise the Lord
Alle..lluia Lets praise the Lord!!!
Silently children are
singing, 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 comes from the book of Luke 12:49-53..”(GNT)
Jesus the Cause of Division
49 “I came to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already
kindled! 50 I have a baptism to receive, and how
distressed I am until it is over! 51 Do you suppose that I came to bring
peace to the world? No, not peace, but division.52 From now on a family of five will be divided, three against two
and two against three. 53 Fathers will be against their sons, and
sons against their fathers; mothers will be against their daughters, and
daughters against their mothers; mothers-in-law will be against their
daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law.”
“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.
Say; Today’s message is a little different
than we usually hear. Usually we talk about how great love is and how we all
agree that loving others is the way to live.
Today we have the message that it is hard to love like Jesus did... Can you think of a time in your life when it
is hard to live Jesus’ law of love and forgiveness? {<when someone else hurts your feelings,
when you are angry>}
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.
