Preparing the worship
space
Colour: Green
Theme: Giving/Sharing
Welcome:
Today we hear
about a woman who did something very special. And we think about how we can
share from what we have, no matter how little that is.
Ask: Last
week you must have heard about? <“A
Neighbor” > (Jesus said,<that the most important commandment is LOVE
- to love God with everything you have and to love others as much as we love
ourselves>..)
==== 7:00 -
7:03 ===
Let there be love shared among us
Let there be love shared among us
Let there be love in our eyes
May now Your love sweep this
nation.
Cause us oh Lord to arise
Give us a fresh understanding
Of brotherly love that is real,
Let there be love shared among us,
Let there be love
Let there be hope shared among us
Let there be hope in our eyes
May now Your hope sweep this
nation.
Cause us oh Lord to arise
Give us a fresh understanding
Of brotherly love that is real,
Let there be hope shared among us,
Let there be hope.
//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 book of Kings. (1 Kings 17:10-16)
Today’s reading tells us about
something that happened when Elijah asked a poor woman to share her bread with
him. Listen closely so you can hear what
she did.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
First reading.
2 1 Kings 17:10-1 (GNT)
10 So Elijah went to Zarephath, and as he came
to the town gate, he saw a widow gathering firewood. “Please bring me a drink
of water,” he said to her. 11 And as she was going to get it, he
called out, “And please bring me some bread, too.”
12 She answered, “By the living Lord your God I
swear that I don't have any bread. All I have is a handful of flour in a bowl
and a bit of olive oil in a jar. I came here to gather some firewood to take
back home and prepare what little I have for my son and me. That will be our
last meal, and then we will starve to death.”
13 “Don't worry,” Elijah said to her. “Go on
and prepare your meal. But first make a small loaf from what you have and bring
it to me, and then prepare the rest for you and your son. 14 For
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The bowl will not run out of
flour or the jar run out of oil before the day that I, the Lord, send rain.’”
15 The widow went and did as Elijah had told
her, and all of them had enough food for many days. 16 As the Lord
had promised through Elijah, the bowl did not run out of flour nor did the jar
run out of oil.
“This is the word of the Lord”
All
say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: So what happened here? What did the woman do? <she
shared everything she had with Elijah>
And then what happened? <The she started to always have enough food after that> Was this woman generous? <yes> Do you think it was easy for her to share
this bread with Elijah? No! Why not?
Say: Let us now focus
on our responsorial Psalm:
< Praise the Lord, my
soul!....> x3
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: In the Gospel today, Mark 12:41-44 tells
us what another widow did and what Jesus said about it.
...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 12:41-44 (GNT)
The Widow's
Offering
She put in everything she possessed
41 As Jesus sat near the Temple
treasury, he watched the people as they dropped in their money. Many rich men
dropped in a lot of money; 42 then a poor widow came along and dropped in two
little copper coins, worth about a penny. 43 He called his disciples
together and said to them, “I tell you that this poor widow put more in the
offering box than all the others. 44 For the others put in what
they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, put in all she
had—she gave all she had to live on.”
“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 happened
here? <there were many rich people giving a lot of money to the church and a
widow who only put in a little money >
What did Jesus say have to say about this woman’s gift? <that
her gift was bigger because she had much less to give> What did that mean? <it
means that it was harder for her, she was more generous, she gave up money that
she needed>
Explain: She had to trust that God would provide what
she needed to live on. God wants us to be able to give a lot, too. He wants SHARING to be more important than
KEEPING.
Memory
Verse: Mark 12:44
…“I tell you that this poor widow put more in
the offering box than all the others.
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 ====
