Liturgy of the Word
Introduce the first reading.
The first reading today is from the Old
Testament book called Exodus. (Exodus
24:3-8). We hear again about Moses, When he came down from the mountain, he and
his people prepared an animal sacrifice which was their custom. They were celebrating the covenant that they
had made with God. Listen to the reading
and see if you can remember what the Israelites promised to do.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
Exodus 24:3-8(GNT)
3 Moses went and told the people all the Lord's commands and all the
ordinances, and all the people answered together, “We will do everything that
the Lord has said.” 4 Moses wrote down all the Lord's commands. Early the next
morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stones,
one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men, and they
burned sacrifices to the Lord and sacrificed some cattle as fellowship
offerings. 6 Moses took half of the blood of the animals and put it in bowls;
and the other half he threw against the altar. 7 Then he took the book of the
Covenant, in which the Lord's commands were written, and read it aloud to the
people. They said, “We will obey the Lord and do everything that he has
commanded.”
8 Then Moses took
the blood in the bowls and threw it on the people. He said, “This is the blood
that seals the covenant which the Lord made with you when he gave all these
commands.”
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: First of all, does anyone
remember what a covenant is? <promise> What did the people of Israel promise to
do? <to follow the rules God gave them> Can anyone tell me what God will give to
those who follow His commands? <eternal life, heaven>
Say: Let
us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
<I will take the cup of salvation, and
call on the name of the Lord!> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: Today’s Gospel reading comes from the New Testament book
written by St. Mark. (Mark 14:12-16,
22-28) St. Mark’s version of what happened at the Last Supper. Does anyone remember the Last Supper? <discuss>
St. Mark tells how Jesus and the Apostles were
preparing to celebrate the Jewish feast of Passover. Jesus and his friends got together to
celebrate this feast and something new happened. Pretend that you are one of Jesus’ friends
celebrating this feast. Listen to what
St Mark tells us and think about how you feel about it all.
...with Alleluia!! –
We sing while standing and
welcome the gospel!!
Yelele yelele Halleluiah. [G]
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. Mark.
Glory to You, O Lord
Mark 14:12-16, 22-28 (GNT)
Jesus
Eats the Passover Meal with His Disciples
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the day the
lambs for the Passover meal were killed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do
you want us to go and get the Passover meal ready for you?”
13 Then Jesus sent two of them with these instructions: “Go into the
city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him 14 to the
house he enters, and say to the owner of the house: ‘The Teacher says, Where is
the room where my disciples and I will eat the Passover meal?’ 15 Then he will
show you a large upstairs room, fixed up and furnished, where you will get
everything ready for us.”
16 The disciples left, went to the city, and found everything just as
Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.”.
The Lord's Supper
22 While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of
thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. “Take it,” he said, “this is my
body.”
23 Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and handed it to them; and
they all drank from it. 24 Jesus said, “This is my blood which is poured out
for many, my blood which seals God's covenant. 25 I tell you, I will never
again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine in the Kingdom of
God.”
26 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
The Gospel of the Lord”
“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 children’s level of understanding like in the suggestions
below…
Gospel
reflection:
What
sacrament did Jesus give us at the Last Supper?
<Eucharist> Thinking of
the two readings today, one about Moses and the commandments and one about
Jesus at the Last Supper, can you think of anything the two readings
share? <they are both about God’s promise to us. God made a promise to the Israelites when he
gave the commandments to them – and Jesus help fulfill God’s promise when he
died and rose>
Memory
Verse: John 6:56
“24 Jesus said, “This
is my blood which is poured out for many, my blood which seals God's covenant.”
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 ====

together:

sacraments,
may we be one in love and prayer with all those who are not
allowed to practice their faith, and cannot receive their Lord in the Eucharist.

for all of us gathered here, Let us pray for a
spirit of prayer and generosity in this parish, may our union with Christ in
the Mass lead us to a deeper personal life, and to a generous sharing of our
time and talents with each other. We Pray
to the Lord…..

them dear Lord, and for the souls of the departed, Eternal rest grant unto them oh Lord, and let
