Welcome:
Today’s

are when we behave the way God asks us to…
Ask: Last
week you must have heard about? <“Giving” > (Jesus said,< …“I tell you that this poor widow put more
in the offering box than all the others>..)

people, light for the world to see.

Christ, be our light! Shine in our
hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church

Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow'r to save
us.
Make us your living voice.

hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church
gathered today.

Liturgy of the Word
Introduce the first reading.
Today’s first reading is from the Old
Testament, the book of prophet Daniel 12:1-3, It is one of the stories in the
Bible that tells us what will happen at the end of the world.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
First reading.
Daniel 12:1-3
The Time of the End
12 1The angel
wearing linen clothes said, “At that time the great angel Michael, who guards
your people, will appear. Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst
since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, all the people
of your nation whose names are written in God's book will be saved. 2 Many of those
who have already died will live again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some
will suffer eternal disgrace. 3 [a]The wise leaders
will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many
people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.”
“This is the word of the Lord”
All
say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: Who knows angel Michael? :-)
(He is an Arch Angel that
fights against evil Spirit.)
Say: Let us now focus
on our responsorial Psalm:
< Keep me safe, O God, you
are my hope…> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: The Gospel selection today is from the
book of Mark 13:24-32. In this reading, we
hear about the end of the world. It is
hard to imagine that the world will end.
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that there is a better world than this
one. But the bible tells us that heaven is so much better. And this is part of what
we believe as Christians. Just like we believe that Jesus died and rose for our
sins, we believe that one day we will be with God in heaven.
...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 13:24-32 (GNT)
The Coming of the Son of Man
24 “In the days after that time of trouble the sun will grow dark,
the moon will no longer shine, 25 the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be
driven from their courses. 26 Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in the clouds with great
power and glory. 27 He will send the angels out to the four corners of the earth to
gather God's chosen people from one end of the world to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
28 “Let the fig tree teach you a lesson. When its branches become
green and tender and it starts putting out leaves, you know that summer is
near. 29 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will
know that the time is near, ready to begin.[a] 30 Remember that all these things will happen before the people now
living have all died. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour
32 “No one knows, however, when that day or hour will come—neither
the angels in heaven, nor the Son; only the Father knows.
“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 will happen? <Jesus
says that nobody except God knows when Jesus will come again. But as His
followers, we should still try to be ready to greet him when He comes. How do
you think we can be ready for Jesus?
Lets be ready by doing all that Jesus
asks of us, by loving God and one another and helping other people. By living
in peace with each other and by sharing what we have so that all people have
enough.>
Memory
Verse: Mark 13:31
…“31Heaven and earth will pass
away, but my words will never pass away.
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 ====
