Liturgy of the Word
Introduce the first reading.
Today’s first reading is from the Old
Testament, the book of Genesis. (Genesis 2:18-24) This is the story of how God
created the first family. Does anyone
remember the names of the first family?
<Adam & Eve> Let’s
listen to the reading and think about what we need to learn about families.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
First reading.
Genesis
2:18-24
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live
alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.” 19 So he took
some soil from the ground and formed all the animals and all the birds. Then he
brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and that is how they
all got their names. 20 So the man named all the birds and all the
animals; but not one of them was a suitable companion to help him.
21 Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while
he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh. 22
He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him. 23 Then the
man said,
“At last, here is one of my own kind—
Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh.
‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of
man.”[a]
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with
his wife, and they become one.
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What do you think was being said here about
families? <the children will talk about man & woman and marriage. Affirm this BUT say that.... > God
tells us to become like one person. This
means that we are supposed to love the people we live with, our families, and
treat them as well as we treat ourselves.
Our families are as important as we are.
Say: Let us now focus
on our responsorial Psalm:
< May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives....> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: The Gospel selection today is from the
book of Mark. (Mark 10:13-16). The last couple of weeks, we have been talking
about things that happened when Jesus was just sitting around talking with
people. Today will be the same. Today, Mark tells about a time when Jesus was
teaching. Some parents tried to come to
Him with their children so that He could bless them. Jesus’ friends tried to keep them from
interrupting Him. Listen closely to hear
what Jesus did and said.
...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 10:13-16 (GNT)
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him
to place his hands on them, but the disciples scolded the people. 14
When Jesus noticed this, he was angry and said to his disciples, “Let the
children come to me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs
to such as these. 15 I assure you that whoever does not receive the
Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then he took
the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed 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:
Ask: What did Jesus do? <told His disciples to let the people come to Him, held the children,
blessed the children> What did that mean? <
it meant that sometimes adults get wrapped up in their own importance -
sometimes children do too - and forget what is really important. Love is what is most important> Did
that mean that children can always interrupt adults? <NO - but adults should be kind and loving
Memory
Verse: Mark 10:16
…”16
Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and
blessed them..”
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 ====
Prayers of the Faithful Now is the time to pray for our stuff :-) Intercessions.

to ask the children to offer their own prayers or you can use the suggestions here.
Leader: We know that Jesus welcomed children and so we have
the courage to pray together:

are poor in our world: that God may give them hope and love. May we listen to
our sisters and brothers and protect the environment, which is our home.
We pray to
the Lord...

families and friends: that we may be moved to care for one another, so everyone
can enjoy God’s gifts. We pray to
the Lord...

3. We pray for the work of Children’s liturgy: that we may continue
to help and support people who are living in fear. We pray to the Lord....
Prayer

us to see that the world is good. Help us to care for creation and to love our
sisters and brothers. We pray to the
Lord...
==== 7:26 - 7:28 ====

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever. Amen
