Colour: Green
Theme: A Gift
Welcome:
Today we
hear Jesus talk about the importance of offering someone a cup of water to
drink when they are thirsty. Let’s think a bit more about this today.
Ask: Last
week you must have heard about? <“Whole world in God’s Hands.” > We learnt how
important all children around the world are today and thought of how God has
the world in His hands…

Entrance Song
Oh, how I love
Jesus
There is a name I love to hear
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear
The sweetest name on earth
[Chorus]
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Saviour's love
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood
The sinner's perfect plea
//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.
Today’s first reading is from the Old
Testament, the book of Numbers. (Numbers 11:25-29) Today’s reading is about
something that happened to the people Moses was in charge of, the Israelites. Israelites
had special rules about religion and only certain people could do certain
things. We hear, there were some men talking to others about God who were not
supposed to. Some of the leaders came to
Moses to complain about it and to ask him to make them stop it. Let’s listen closely to hear what Moses told
them.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
First(second)reading.
Numbers
11:25-29
25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke
to him. He took some of the spirit he had given to Moses and gave it to the
seventy leaders. When the spirit came on them, they began to shout like
prophets, but not for long.
26 Two of the seventy leaders, Eldad and Medad,
had stayed in the camp and had not gone out to the Tent. There in the camp the
spirit came on them, and they too began to shout like prophets. 27 A young man
ran out to tell Moses what Eldad and Medad were doing.
28 Then Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses'
helper since he was a young man, spoke up and said to Moses, “Stop them, sir!”
29 Moses answered, “Are you concerned about my
interests? I wish that the Lord would give his spirit to all his people and
make all of them shout like prophets!”
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What was it?
What did Moses say to them? <Moses surprised the leaders by saying that
he wished everybody did what the two men were doing. In other words, the two men were not wrong by
doing what they felt was right.>
Say: Let us now focus
on our responsorial Psalm:
< Let all the earth cry
out to God with joy...> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: The Gospel selection today is from the
book of Mark. (Mark 9:38-41). It tells
about a conversation Jesus had with one of His friends. Pretend that you are one of Jesus’
disciples. You are all sitting around
listening to Him answer questions. Let’s
have the Gospel reading and see if you understand what happened.
...with Alleluia!! –
everyone stands and sings the
acclamation together. Suggestions include:!!
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 9:38-41 (GNT)
Whoever Is Not against Us Is for Us
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man who
was driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he
doesn't belong to our group.”
39 “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus told them,
“because no one who performs a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward
to say evil things about me. 41 I assure you that anyone who gives
you a drink of water because you belong to me will certainly receive a reward.
“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:
Ask: What do you think? What was Jesus really saying? <every
little good thing we do is important to Him, everything good that we do is
pleasing to Him>. The good things
that we do is a kind of sharing. Jesus
wants us to share kindness with each other.
Memory
Verse: Mark 9:40
…”40
For whoever is not against us, is for us.”
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 ====
