Preparing the worship
space
Colour: Red
Theme: A Host and Chalice.
Welcome: Today we hear how Jesus performed a great miracle
with bread for five thousand people. And at every Mass in the Liturgy of the
Eucharist, we do exactly what Christ did at the Last Supper. Do you remember what He said? “Do
this in memory of me…” By sharing
the Eucharist, we celebrate the Father who sent Jesus to us, we celebrate Jesus
who taught us how to love, and we celebrate the Holy Spirit who helps/guides
us.
Ask: What was last week’s theme? < “Special relationship in
the Trinity” > “God
the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirity”.

Liturgy of the Word
Introduce the first reading.
Today’s first reading is from the Hebrew Scriptures,
the Book of Genesis. (Gen 14:18-20) Do you think that Jesus was the first person to offer bread
and wine to God? <get the children to respond> Let’s listen to
this reading from the days of Abraham and find out.
A prepared child/children come and take the reading.
Gen 14:18-20
Melchizedek, king of
Saleml!
In those days, Melchizedek,
king of Salem, brought out bread and wine,
and being a priest of God
Most High,
he blessed Abram with these
words:
"Blessed be Abram by God
Most High,
the creator of heaven and
earth;
and blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your foes into
your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth
of everything.
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What did you learn/here? <give the children a chance to
respond (appropriate answers will be
anything that actually shows that they listened)
Say: Abraham lived hundreds of years
before Jesus during the time of the pharoahs in Egypt. Melchizedek was offering bread and wine way
back then. When Jesus lived among the
Jewish people, he was always respectful of their traditions – remember, Jesus
was a Jew. He came to us people to help
us better understand the message of God’s love.
So, when he could, he used existing traditions to help people
understand.
Say: Let
us now focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< You are a priest forever in the line of
Melchizedek. > 3x
Introducing
the Gospel
Say: Today’s Gospel reading comes from the book of St. Luke. (Lk 9:11b-17)
Today’s reading is a story that many of you will remember. It is about a miracle where Jesus did
something to take care of a lot of people.
Let’s see how many of you have heard this one before.
...with Alleluia!! –
We sing while standing and
welcome the gospel!!
Yelele yelele Halleluiah. [G]
Chorus: Halleluiah, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah.
1. Eyende mbele,
Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah.
2. Moto, moto,
Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah.
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. Luke.
Glory to You, O Lord
Gospel LK 9:11B-17
Jesus feeds 5000 men.
Jesus spoke to the crowds
about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the
day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached him and
said,
"Dismiss the crowd
so that they can go to the
surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted
place here."
He said to them, "Give
them some food yourselves. "They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go
and buy food for all these people."
Now the men there numbered
about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples,
"Have them sit down in
groups of about fifty."
They did so and made them all
sit down.
Then taking the five loaves
and the two fish,
and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing over
them, broke them,
and gave them to the disciples
to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied.
And when the leftover
fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.
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?
What exactly did Jesus do?
<discuss> Can anyone tell
me what hunger is? <response> Does
hunger have to be for food?
Say: Being hungry
means that a person really needs something, something very important. Sometimes a person might be hungry for a
friend…. Or a hug…. Can you think of something else a person might really need…
that they might be hungry for?
<discuss> If we let him,
Jesus satisfies our hunger for love.
Memory
Verse: Luke 9:17
“17And when the
leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets......”
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.
