Liturgy of the Word
Introduction of the
first reading.
Say: Today’s first reading is
from the Old Testament, the book of the prophet Daniel 7:13-14. This reading is
about a vision of the prophet Daniel.
Does anyone know what a vision is?
<like a dream> Remember, this is a story from the Jewish Scripture
so Daniel lived a very long time before Jesus........
A prepared child/children come and take the
reading.
Daniel 7:13-14
(GNT)
Daniel’s
Vision
13 During this vision in the night, I saw what looked like a human
being. He was approaching me, surrounded by clouds, and he went to the one who
had been living forever and was presented to him. 14 He was given
authority, honor, and royal power, so that the people of all nations, races,
and languages would serve him. His authority would last forever, and his
kingdom would never end.
This is the word of the Lord;
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What did you hear about Jesus the King?
<He would be honored in heaven, given power by God, rule forever,
everybody worships Him, His kingdom would never be destroyed.>
Let us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< The Lord is King; He is
robed in majesty. …> Can you say this with me? <Have the
children repeat it, like three times.
Introducing the
Gospel
Say: The
Gospel selection today is from the book of John 18:33-37. For the last month or so, we have been
hearing readings from the book of Mark, Today is a special Sunday, so we hear
from John.. Listen closely…
...with Alleluia!! –
We
sing while standing and welcome the gospel!!
Welcoming the Gospel;
You are welcome Lord of Lords,
You are welcome King of Kings
You are welcome Lord of Hosts
You are welcome Prince of Peace..
You are welcome here, Alle-lluia,
Alle..lluia Might God!!!
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. John
.
Glory to You, O Lord
Pls note it’s a shorter version
taken.
John 18:33-37 (GNT)
Pilate
and Jesus.
33 Pilate went
back into the palace and called Jesus. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked
him.
34 Jesus
answered, “Does this question come from you or have others told you about me?”
35 Pilate
replied, “Do you think I am a Jew? It was your own people and the chief priests
who handed you over to me. What have you done?”
36 Jesus said,
“My kingdom does not belong to this world; if my kingdom belonged to this
world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish
authorities. No, my kingdom does not belong here!”
37 So Pilate
asked Him, “Are you a king, then?”
Jesus
answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and came into the world for
this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth
listens to me.”
“The Gospel of the Lord”
All say “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 at children’s level of
understanding like in the suggestions below…
Gospel reflection:
Ask: Does anybody remember when we read this
before? It was right before a great
feast. <Lead the children to remember the great feast of EASTER and then to
identify the Sunday before it - Palm Sunday – Its around this time when we hear
this Gospel passage.> And even though our Lord Jesus Christ knew that He
was about to be killed, He respected the Jewish authorities.
Memory Verse:
“John 18:37 “…. <“… I was born and
came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever
belongs to the truth listens to me...”>”
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.
You may want to ask the children to offer their own prayers
or you can use the suggestions here.
We try to listen to Jesus
as we pray together:
A Leader guides the children to read…
Prayer 1. We pray for world leaders: that they may really
listen to their people and follow Jesus's example of love and help for all who
are in need... We pray to the Lord...
Prayer 2. We
pray for all people around the world, especially those who are poor: that they
may have the chance to speak out about what is important to them and be
listened to… We pray to the Lord....
Prayer 3. We
pray for our parish, families and friends: that we may listen to others and to
Jesus, and do all that we can to change our lives for the better.... We pray to the Lord...
Prayer 4. Christ our King, help us to be like you, to listen
to your truth and to see that all people are important, no matter who they are
or where they come from.... We pray to the
Lord...
==== 7:26 - 7:28 ====
Silently, each one tells God their petition.
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
==== 7:28 - 7:30 ====
Song Interlude: Walk Walk in the light, walk

still some time), we pick the children that will perform next Sunday....
