Liturgy
of the Word
First Reading
The
Book of Acts is all about the time after Christ rose from the dead – but before
the feast of Pentecost. Does anyone remember who Jesus chose to lead his new
church? <Peter> Listen closely to this passage and see
if you can discover why he was chosen?
Acts 5:27-32
27 And when they had brought them, they set them
before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We
strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled
Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon
us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a
tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give
repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses to these
things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
40 and when they had called on the apostles, they
beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted
worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Responsorial Psalm
I will praise you, Lord,
for you have rescued me.
Introducing
the Gospel
Today’s
Gospel reading comes from the book of John.
((Jn 21:1-14) This reading tells
us again about one of the times that Jesus appeared to his friends after the
resurrection. Actually the 3rd time.
.Welcoming the Gospel
..with Alleluia!! -
Welcoming the Gospel
Good News today, Yes good news, good news today, good news
today, the news of Salavation. Alle-luia Alle, Alle-luia, Alle- luia, A—lleluia
x2
Silently
say:
”Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, that I may worthily pro`claim your
Holy Gospel to your little children.
The Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit
The Gospel reading is from the book of ...” John 21:1-14
And at the end, leader says “The Gospel of the Lord” and all repeat “Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”
Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples and they had Breakfast
With Jesus at the BeachJ
21 After this, Jesus
appeared once more to his disciples at Lake Tiberias. This is how it happened.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (the one from Cana in
Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus were all
together. 3 Simon Peter said to the others, “I am going fishing.”
“We will come with you,”
they told him. So they went out in a boat, but all that night they did not
catch a thing. 4 As the sun was rising, Jesus stood at the water's edge, but
the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then he asked them, “Young men,
haven't you caught anything?”
“Not a thing,” they
answered.
6 He said to them,
“Throw your net out on the right side of the boat, and you will catch some.” So
they threw the net out and could not pull it back in, because they had caught
so many fish. 7 The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
When Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment around him
(for he had taken his clothes off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other
disciples came to shore in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. They were
not very far from land, about a hundred yards away. 9 When they stepped ashore,
they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it and some bread. 10 Then Jesus
said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went
aboard and dragged the net ashore full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three
in all; even though there were so many, still the net did not tear. 12 Jesus
said to them, “Come and eat.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are
you?” because they knew it was the Lord. 13 So Jesus went over, took the bread,
and gave it to them; he did the same with the fish.
14 This, then, was the
third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from death.
“Gospel of the Lord”
Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”
(*)Tell an interesting story according to the Gospel and children’s level of understanding like in the Gospel reflection:
==== 7:24 - 7:27 ====
Gospel Reflection.
Ask: What
happened? <discuss> Because Jesus kept appearing to the Apostles,
they knew that they had a special job to do.
They were still confused and trying to figure it all out – but it became
very obvious that something really important was going on – and they were part
of it.
Did anything else strike you as important about this
Gospel? < the symbolism of sharing
the meal – Eucharist, or anything else that the children notice>
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:
And the third day he
rose again from the dead:
He ascended into
heaven,
and seated at the
right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From there He shall
come again 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.
