Preparing the worship
space
Colour: Green
Theme: Shepard.
Welcome: Today we hear how Jesus and his disciples wanted
to get away and spend a little bit of time by themselves. But it didn’t quite
work out like that. Let’s listen and find out what happened instead.
Ask: What was last week’s theme? <“Suitcase.” > “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....”.

Liturgy of the Word
Introduce the first reading.
The first reading today is from the Old
Testament, book of prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 23:3-6). In the Old Testament,
God often spoke through holy men who were prophets. Jeremiah was also a
prophet. Jeremiah tells us what the Lord
said about gathering His people together and providing them with a leader. Listen closely and see if you can figure out
who the leader is that God is going to send.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
Jeremiah 23:3-6 (NRSVCE)
Restoration after Exile
3
Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I
have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be
fruitful and multiply. 4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd
them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be
missing, says the Lord.
The Righteous Branch of David
5
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a
righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute
justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved and
Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called:
“The Lord is our righteousness.”
3“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: Jeremiah told about the
leader that God was going to send to lead his people. He described the leader as “a king from the family of David.” Did you figure out who that leader was going
to be? <Jesus>
Say: Let us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want..!> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: The Gospel reading was written by St.
Mark (Mark 6:30-34). St. Mark tells
about the people who had heard Jesus loved him so much that they followed him
everywhere. Mark describes the people as
acting like a certain animal. Listen
closely and hear what kind of animal it was.
...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 6:30-34 (NRSVCE)
Feeding the Five Thousand
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they
had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by
yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no
leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a deserted
place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them,
and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34
As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them,
because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them
many things.
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 kind of animal
did you hear about? <sheep> Why did He say the people were like sheep?
<because they followed Jesus around
like they did not know what to do, they needed someone to lead them>!
Memory
Verse: Mark 6:34
34 “……. he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they
were like sheep without a shepherd…..”
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 ====
