Welcome;
Today we are going to talk about what Jesus
had to say about being Number One, about being first.
Ask: Don’t we all think that we
are Number One? And that Number One is the best? If a
team wins a game, what do we call them? <Number One> Who
are the winners in our world today? <Uganda didn’t get a gold
medal in the OlympicsL
but politicians, movie stars, rock stars, etc.>
Focus: Memory
Verse
Luke
14:8“... “When you are
invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor...”
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
First Reading
In
the book of Sirach, we hear a beautiful word, HUMBLE. Can anyone tell me what
the word HUMBLE means? <It means low or ordinary.> When someone is
humble, they don’t put themselves first, they treat everyone as if they were
very important. Let’s listen.
Now give to
the child to start reading the first reading below.
Today’s first reading is from the old Testament book of Sirach 3:17-18,20 (NRSVCE)
Humility
17 My child, perform your tasks with humility;[a]
then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. 18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.[b]
then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. 18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.[b]
Sirach 3:20
20 For great is the might of the Lord;
but by the humble he is glorified.
but by the humble he is glorified.
This is the word of the Lord, …
Ask: If you are important,
how can you ACT humble? <by
being nice to others, by treating them as if they were special> How did Jesus tell us to treat other
people? < He told us that we should
treat other people the way we would treat Jesus.>
Responsorial Psalm
God, in your goodness, you have made a home
for the poor.
Introducing
the Gospel
Jesus went to a party, a wedding
feast. He watched some of the guests and
how they acted. He used their behavior at the party to tell us how we should
behave all the time. He had something to
say to the guests and something else to say to the man hosting the party. Listen closely and see if you can hear what
Jesus said to each of these people.
..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 14:1,7-14
(NRSVCE)
Praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ..
Humility
and Hospitality
14 On one occasion when Jesus[a] was going to the house of a leader of the
Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely.
7 When he noticed how the guests chose
the places of honor, he told them a parable. 8 “When you are invited by someone to a
wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more
distinguished than you have been invited by your host; 9 and the host who invited both of you
may come and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace
you would start to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit
down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you,
‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who
sit at the table with you. 11 For all who exalt themselves will be
humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 He said also to the one who had
invited Him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends
or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite
you in return, and you would be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite
the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14 And you will be blessed, because they
cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at
the resurrection of the righteous.”
“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 do you think this story was all
about? <discuss> What did Jesus tell the
guests? <not to take the best seats, not to put themselves
first> What did Jesus
tell the host of the party? <to
invite people who couldn’t repay his hospitality>
Explain: Usually when you have a party, you
invite your friends and then when they have parties, they invite you. Jesus told the host to invite people
who were poor and sick. Why
would he do that? <because
to truly give, you must not be thinking about yourself and what you will
receive later> The poor
and sick people would never be able to give anything back to the host of the
party. By inviting them to
a place at his table, he would be treating them like they were important. This is what Jesus asks all of us to
do.
