Explain: Today is the
Feast of Christ the King which is the very last Sunday of the Liturgical Year
C. After this one, we begin a new Liturgical year A. The Church year begins
with Advent, the season before Christmas.
Ask: Does anyone remember the symbol for last
week? <Faith-Trust> < Jesus warned us that
life will be difficult and the world will face wars and disasters but that we
mustn't lose hope. We must trust in God who will guide us and save us.
Welcome;
Today we hear how Jesus is laughed at while on the cross and
how two thieves have different things to say to him while they also are on the
cross.
//V// In the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
//R// Amen.
//V// May The
Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the love
of God,
And the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with you
all.
//R// And
with Your Spirit.

Liturgy of
the Word
First Reading, Introduce the reading.
Say: Today’s first reading is from the second book of Samuel, (2 Sam
5:1–3).
Explain: Much of what happened in the New Testament (which is all about Jesus’
life) was similar to things that happened in the Old Testament. There was a
king in the Old Testament who is often compared to Jesus. He was a humble shepherd boy who became a
great king of all of Israel. Listen to
this reading and see if you remember who he was.…
A prepared
child/children come and take\ the first reading or second reading.
The
first reading is from the old book of 2 Samuel 5:1-3 (RSVCE)
David Anointed King of All Israel
5 [a]Then all the
tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said, “Behold, we are your bone
and flesh. 2 In times past, when Saul was king
over us, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord said to you,
‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over
Israel.’” 3 So all the elders of Israel
came to the king at Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron
before the Lord, and they
anointed David king over Israel.
“This
is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: Who was the king? <David>
When Jesus was born, he was born from Mary, a descendant of King David. He was raised as a carpenter in a
little town. Do you remember anything else about King David? <the story of David and Goliath- that he
defeated enemies who seemed to be a lot stronger than he was>
Let us focus on
our responsorial Psalm:
< God is king of all the earth....….>3x.
Introduce the
Gospel
Today’s Gospel reading comes from the book of Luke. (Lk 23:35-43) This reading from Luke is one
that we have heard already during the Lenten season. It is a reading that clearly tells how Jesus
is our leader and our God. Listen closely
to see if you remember the story.
Now we will stand
to get ready to hear 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
Leader starts: The Lord
be with You,
And with your Spirit.
A reading is from the Holy Gospel according to
St. Luke.
Glory to
You, O Lord
Luke 23:35-43 (RSVCE)
35 And the
people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved
others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers
also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar, 37 and saying,
“If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 There was
also an inscription over him,[a] “This is the King of the Jews.”
39 One of the
criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save
yourself and us!” 40 But the other
rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same
sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed
justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done
nothing wrong.” 42 And he said,
“Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingly power.”[b] 43 And he said
to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
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: Do you
remember the story? When did this story take place? <at
the crucifixion> People were
making fun of Jesus as he was dying on the cross.
Say: One person believed Jesus. Do you remember who it was? <the
thief> What did Jesus promise
that person? <eternal life – or heaven>
Memory Verse:
“Luke 23:43 ( “Jesus said to him, “I promise you
that today you will be in Paradise with me.”.”)
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 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.

Prayers of
the Faithful
Now is the time to pray for our stuff :-)Intercessions.
You may want to ask the children to offer
their own prayers or you can use the suggestions below.
Let us pray to
Christ our King together:
Prayer 1. Let
us pray for world church leaders: Our Pope Francis, our arch Bishop Cyprian
Lwanga, Priests, and all the clergy, that we have known
that Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe and He left leaders to help us
learn more about Him. May
our leaders continue to welcome, love and care for everyone in Spirit as Jesus
did – like a shepherd cares for his sheep, to bring peace and happiness. We pray to the Lord...
Prayer 2. Let us
pray for all civil leaders throughout the world: but most especially our
leaders here in our country. May the good Lord guide them all and we pray that
they may remember the true kingship in Christ Jesus and not be distracted by
earthly power and wealth and lead their people with love and respect. pray to the Lord....
Prayer 3. Let us pray for the sick members of our community and for all
those who are in need. Heal them and provide to them dear Lord. And for the
souls of the departed, Eternal rest
grant unto them oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. We
pray to the Lord....
Prayer 4. Let us
pray for our dear Parents; may our King of Kings continue to bless them in everything
they do, especially those that have lost love and want to give up on their children,
not to give up. And pray that we(children) also, concentrate on all the good
things we have been taught at church, home and School, so that we get a perfect
future. We pray to the Lord.....
Prayer 5. And
for all of us gathered here, let us pray that we may be open to listen to Jesus
Christ the king in our lives, not to command for our rights when things are
difficult, but remember that God is with us in the hardest times and may we
help and serve each other when things are difficult. May we look for what we
can do in Jesus’s name, so He may grant us all we ask of Him because He loves
us.
We Pray to the Lord…..
==== 7:26 - 7:28 ====
Silently, each one tells God your petition.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever.
Amen
