Entrance Song
1.
When
we walk with the Lord
in the
light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will,
he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2.
Not
a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not
a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey.
Explain: Today is the 33rd
Sunday in Ordinary Time, and the last Sunday in Ordinary Time. Next Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King
which is the very last Sunday of the Church Year C. After that, we begin a new
liturgical year. The Church year begins with Advent, the season before
Christmas.
Ask: Does anyone remember the
symbol for last week? <Faith=Heaven> < We talked about
heaven, the eternal life that God has promised his people.> We talked about
heaven, the eternal life that God has promised his people.
Welcome;
Today Jesus warns 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.
//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 Malachi. (Mal 3:19-20)
Explain: This reading tells about how the Lord will bring justice at the
end of time. Let’s see what we can understand from the reading.…
A prepared child/children come and take\ the first reading or
second reading.
The
first reading is from the old book of Malachi 3:19-20 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
19 For the day
is coming, blazing like an oven,
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch,
says the Lord of hosts.
20 But for you who fear my name, the sun of justice
will arise with healing in its wings;[a]
And you will go out leaping like calves from the stall
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch,
says the Lord of hosts.
20 But for you who fear my name, the sun of justice
will arise with healing in its wings;[a]
And you will go out leaping like calves from the stall
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks
be to God”.
Ask: What
do you think of the story? <discuss> ** <that God will make all things
right in the end, that He will destroy all evil and that those who are trying
to do His will, will be happy>**
Let us focus on our
responsorial Psalm:
< The
Lord comes to rule the earth with justice....….>3x.
Introduce the Gospel
Today’s
Gospel reading is all about the end of the world, too. It comes from the book of Luke. (Lk 21:5-19). When Jesus would teach about
the end of the world, people became nervous.
They wanted to know when it was going to happen. Wouldn’t you want to
know too? If you knew, you would be
particularly nice to everyone so that you could be sure that you would go
straight to heaven. Jesus tells us about
a lot of things that will have to happen first.
Listen closely and see if you can hear some of the things that will
happen first.
Let us Welcome 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 21:5-19 (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
5 [a]While some
people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and
votive offerings, he said,6 “All that you
see here—the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another
stone that will not be thrown down.”
The Signs of the End. 7 Then they
asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when
all these things are about to happen?” 8 He answered,
“See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am
he,’ and ‘The time has come.’[b] Do not follow them! 9 When you hear
of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen
first, but it will not immediately be the end.” 10 Then he said
to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be
powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome
sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.
The Coming Persecution. 12 “Before all
this happens,[c] however, they will seize and persecute you, they
will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led
before kings and governors because of my name. 13 It will lead
to your giving testimony. 14 Remember, you
are not to prepare your defense beforehand, 15 for I myself
shall give you a wisdom in speaking[d] that all your adversaries will be powerless to
resist or refute. 16 You will even
be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put
some of you to death. 17 You will be
hated by all because of my name, 18 but not a
hair on your head will be destroyed. 19 By your
perseverance you will secure your lives.
The Great Tribulation.[e]
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: Did you hear Jesus said some of
the things that will happen before the world will end? <wars,
earthquakes, people starving, terrible diseases, people will be hurt for
believing in God> Can you think
of places in the world today where there are wars, earthquakes and people are
hungry for food?
Say:
But Jesus says not to worry. He says to keep believing in Him and keep
living the best life you can. That’s
what God asks of us.
Memory
Verse:
“Luke 21:9
( “
When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things
must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.”.”)
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.
Today as we
learn about God’s different way of seeing the world we pray together:
Prayer 1. We pray for the Church: that it may stand firm in
God’s love, supporting and welcoming all, especially those among us who are
poor. We pray to the Lord...
Prayer 2. We pray for our brothers and sisters in countries that are experiencing
wars and earth quakes, who have lost homes and loved ones: that they may receive
the help they need to rebuild. We pray to
the Lord...
Prayer 3. We pray for our parish, family and friends: that we may support each
other in all things, especially when life is difficult and we cannot see the
light. May we give each other hope... We pray to
the Lord...
Prayer 4. Let us pray that, our
Lord Jesus Christ helps us to put our faith and trust in Him at all times. May
we not be afraid but instead, believe that He will always keep us safe. We pray to
the Lord...
