Welcome: Today we hear a story about a king who
invites lots of different people to the wedding of his son. When do we have
cakes? <when there is a party> Can anyone tell me what we do when we
want to have a party? <we are happy, we decorate, we ask people to
come> When you invite people to a party, how does it make you feel when
they say YES? <happy>
When they say NO how does it
feel? <sad>
Yes, heaven is
like a party that God is preparing for us, we are going to talk a little bit
about heaven.

Liturgy of the Word
Introduction of the
first reading.
Today’s first reading, Isaiah (Isaiah 25:6-10a). tells us
something that God will do for us.
Pretend that you are one of the people listening to Isaiah. See if you can hear one thing that the Lord
will do for us..
A prepared child/children come and take the
reading.
Isaiah 25:6-10
(GNT)
God Prepares a
Banquet
6 Here on Mount Zion the Lord Almighty will prepare a banquet for
all the nations of the world—a banquet of the richest food and the finest wine.
7 Here he will suddenly remove the cloud of sorrow that has been hanging over
all the nations. 8 The Sovereign Lord will destroy death forever! He will wipe
away the tears from everyone's eyes and take away the disgrace his people have
suffered throughout the world. The Lord himself has spoken.
9 When it happens, everyone will say, “He is our God! We have put
our trust in him, and he has rescued us. He is the Lord! We have put our trust
in him, and now we are happy and joyful because he has saved us.”
God Will Punish Moab
10 The Lord will protect Mount Zion, but the people of Moab will
be trampled down the way straw is trampled in manure..
This is the word of the Lord;
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What did you hear? <the Lord
will prepare a feast on the mountain, destroy the power of death, wipe away
every tear, save the people, protect the mountain>
Let us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< I
shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life....…> 3x
Introducing the
Gospel
Say: Today’s Gospel reading is from Matthew, he tells us
about another parable Jesus used to teach about what God wants for us. In biblical times, the Jewish people believed
that God was available just for them.
They believed that if they followed all the rules of their church, they
would go straight to heaven. And they definitely believed that if you were NOT
Jewish, that you could not go to heaven.
Let us listen to a story about a man who
wanted to give a great party. Pretend
that you are a Jewish child listening to Jesus tell this story.
....with Alleluia!! –
We
sing while standing and welcome the gospel!!
Chorus: Halleluiah, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
1. Eyende mbele, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
2.
Moto, moto, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah
The leader reading the gospel, silently says: “Cleanse
our hearts and our lips almighty God, that we 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. Matthew.
Glory to You, O Lord
Matthew 22:1-10 (GNT)
The
Parable of the Wedding Feast.
22 Jesus again used parables
in talking to the people. 2 “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. Once there was
a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. 3 He sent his servants to tell
the invited guests to come to the feast, but they did not want to come. 4 So he
sent other servants with this message for the guests: ‘My feast is ready now;
my steers and prize calves have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come
to the wedding feast!’ 5 But the invited guests paid no attention and went
about their business: one went to his farm, another to his store, 6 while
others grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them. 7 The king was very
angry; so he sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down
their city. 8 Then he called his servants and said to them, ‘My wedding feast
is ready, but the people I invited did not deserve it. 9 Now go to the main
streets and invite to the feast as many people as you find.’ 10 So the servants
went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, good and
bad alike; and the wedding hall was filled with people.
“The Gospel
of the Lord”
All say “Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ”.
==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
(*) Tell your prepared reflecting story to
motivate the children, but according to the Gospel and at children’s level of
understanding like in the suggestions below…
Gospel reflection:
Say: So, the invited guests didn’t listen or come
and the King went out and invited everyone off the streets to come to his
party. If you were Jewish (one of the
people chosen by God) in biblical times, what do you think this story might
mean? <that just being invited is not enough, you have to accept the
invitation.>
God wants us all to come to his party. We just have to listen to Him and follow His
laws of love. A few weeks ago, we talked
about how God is always near, we just have to talk to Him. God wants us to be close to Him. It’s our job to always remember that God is
right there!
Memory Verse: Mathew
“Matthew 22:9 “…. < “Now go to the main streets
and invite to the feast as many people as you find.”.>....”
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.
==== 7:24 - 7:26 ====

generous and fair and so we pray together:
