Preparing the worship
space
Colour: Green
Theme: Suitcase.
Welcome: Today we hear how Jesus sent his disciples out to
spread his word, but even though they had to travel far and wide, Jesus told
them not to take any of their belongings with them. Let’s think a bit more
about this…
Ask: What was last week’s theme? <“Faith.” > “Jesus was teaching with great wisdom, but the people found
it hard to believe in Him...”.

Entrance Song
Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace
Make me a channel of your
peace.
Where there is hatred let
me bring your love;
Where there is injury,
your pardon, Lord;
And where there’s doubt,
true faith in you:
Oh, Master, grant that I
may never seek
So much to be consoled as
to console;
To be understood as to
understand;
To be loved, as to love
with all my soul. ‘
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light;
and where there’s sadness, ever
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light;
and where there’s sadness, ever
//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
Introduce the first reading.
The first reading today is from the Old
Testament, from the book of Amos (Amos 7:10-15). It tells the story of a man named Amos who
listened to God and did what God told him to do. Amos was just an ordinary farmer but God
chose him to tell some important people about things that would happen to the Israelites...
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
Amos 7:10-15 (GNT)
Amos and Amaziah
10Amaziah, the
priest of Bethel, then sent a report to King Jeroboam of Israel: “Amos is
plotting against you among the people. His speeches will destroy the
country. 11 This is what he says: ‘Jeroboam will die in
battle, and the people of Israel will be taken away from their land into
exile.’” 12 Amaziah then said to Amos, “That's enough,
prophet! Go on back to Judah and do your preaching there. Let them pay
you for it. 13 Don't prophesy here at Bethel any more. This is
the king's place of worship, the national temple.”
14 Amos
answered, “I am not the kind of prophet who prophesies for pay. I am a
herdsman, and I take care of fig trees. 15 But the Lord took me from my work as a
shepherd and ordered me to come and prophesy to his people Israel.
“This
is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What did God ask Amos to
do? <leave his farm and flocks to preach to the people of Israel> Why do you think that the king of Israel
didn’t want Amos talking to his people?
<because he didn’t want to
hear the message>
Say: Let us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< Lord, show us your mercy
and love, and grant us your salvation.!> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: Today’s Gospel reading was written by
St. Mark (Mark 6:7-13). St. Mark tells
us how Jesus sent his Apostles out two by two to spread the news about
God. He even talks about how to pack lightly so that they can concentrate on
the message and not on themselves and their needs
...with Alleluia!! –
We sing while standing and
welcome the gospel!!
CHORUS: (‘Halle, halle, halle’
(Caribbean))
Halle, halle, halle, lu-u-jah!
Halle, halle, halle lu-u-jah!
Halle, halle, halle lu-u-jah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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 6:7-13
(NRSVCE)
7 He called
the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over
the unclean spirits. 8 He
ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no
bag, no money in their belts; 9 but to
wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you
leave the place. 11 If any
place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off
the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were
sick and cured them.
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:
Say: What is one thing
that you think God would like for you to quit worrying about?
Remember our theme? The suitcase. They
weren’t allowed to take anything with them except
their staff, to help them walk on their journey. They couldn’t take a suitcase,
or any food, or any money. Not even a change of clothes!
Memory
Verse: Mark 6:12
12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
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 ====
