Let's think about the importance of saying thank you to each other and to God.

And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with you all.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading, Introduce the reading.
Say: Today’s first reading
is from the second book of Kings. (2 Kings 5:14-17).
Explain: It is a story about the prophet Elisha and a man from the
country of Syria called Naaman. Naaman listened to what Elisha said about God and was really
impressed. Naaman does something that might seem really strange to us. Listen closely and see if you can hear what it is.
A
prepared child comes and takes the first reading or second reading.
2 Kings 5:14-17(GNT)
14 So Naaman went down to the Jordan, dipped himself in it seven
times, as Elisha had instructed, and he was completely cured. His flesh became
firm and healthy like that of a child. 15 He returned to Elisha with all his men and said, “Now I know that
there is no god but the God of Israel; so please, sir, accept a gift from me.”
16 Elisha answered, “By the living Lord, whom I
serve, I swear that I will not accept a gift.”
Naaman insisted that he accept it, but he would not. 17 So Naaman said, “If you won't accept my gift, then let me have two
mule-loads of earth to take home with me,[a] because from now on I will not offer
sacrifices or burnt offerings to any god except the Lord.
“This is the word of the
Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What
did Naaman do? <he tried to give
Elisha a gift but Elisha wouldn’t accept it, he took dirt from Israel back
home> Why do you think he did that? <At that time, it was believed that the
Jews, those who loved in Israel, were the chosen people. They felt that the best prayers were prayed in Israel. By taking dirt from the country of Israel, Naaman felt that
he would be able to create a better place to pray in his own country>
Let
us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.….>3x.
Introduce the Gospel
In the Gospel today, Jesus tells us about 10 men who
had a disease called leprosy. Leprosy is
a very contagious skin disease, which means that other people can catch it
easily. Lepers had to leave their families and live with other lepers, just so
that the disease wouldn’t spread. They couldn’t go back home until a priest had
determined that they were completely healed.
This story tells about something wonderful that one of these lepers
did. Listen closely and find out what he
did. And, if you can, try to remember
where this man came from.
Welcoming the Gospel
..with Alleluia!! - OR
Welcome the Gospel through a song.
Chorus:
Halle, halle,
halle-lu-jah!
Halle, halle,
halle-lu-jah! Halle, halle, halle-lu-jah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
!!
Silently say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, that I may
worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel.
The Lord be
with You,
AND
with your Spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to St.Luke
Glory to
You, O Lord
Luke 17:11-19 (GNT)
Jesus Heals Ten Men
11 As Jesus made
his way to Jerusalem, he went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 He was going
into a village when he was met by ten men suffering from a dreaded skin
disease. They stood at a distance 13 and shouted,
“Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!”
14 Jesus saw
them and said to them, “Go and let the priests examine you.”
On the way
they were made clean.[a] 15 When one of
them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw
himself to the ground at Jesus' feet and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus spoke
up, “There were ten who were healed; where are the other nine? 18 Why is this
foreigner the only one who came back to give thanks to God?” 19 And Jesus
said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
The Gospel of
the Lord”
“Praise to you
Lord Jesus Christ”
==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
(*)Tell an interesting story according to the Gospel and
children’s level of understanding like in the
Gospel reflection:
Ask: Can you tell me what happened? <let the children retell the story> What was unusual about the one man who came back? Where did he come from? <Samaria> What can you tell me about Samaria? <most of the people that followed Jesus around listening to him were prejudiced against the people who lived in Samaria- they didn’t like them. It was always surprising to hear that anyone in Samaria did anything good> Do you remember another story about someone from Samaria? <the Good Samaritan>
Let us stand up and
we 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.
