Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
Genesis. (Gen 18:1–10a). It is a story about Abraham and his
wife. Does anyone remember her
name? <Sarah> This is a story of service and a promise made
to Abraham because he was such a good servant>..
Now give to
the child to start reading the first reading below.
Today’s first reading is from the old Testament book of Genesis
18:1–10
The Three Visitors
18 Later, the
Lord again appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre. At that time
Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent. It was during the hottest part of
the day. 2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When Abraham saw
them, he ran from his tent to meet them. He bowed face down on the ground
before them. 3 Abraham said, “Sir, if you think well of me, please stay awhile
with me, your servant. 4 I will bring some water so all of you can wash your
feet. You may rest under the tree. 5 I will get some bread for you, so you can
regain your strength. Then you may continue your journey.”
The three men
said, “That is fine. Do as you said.”
6 Abraham
hurried to the tent where Sarah was. He said to her, “Hurry, prepare 20 quarts
of fine flour. Make it into loaves of bread.” 7 Then Abraham ran to his cattle.
He took one of his best calves and gave it to a servant. The servant hurried to
kill the calf and to prepare it for food. 8 Abraham gave the three men the calf
that had been cooked. He also gave them milk curds and milk. While the three
men ate, he stood under the tree near them.
9 The men asked
Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?”
“There, in the
tent,” said Abraham.
10 Then the Lord
said, “I will certainly return to you about this time a year from now. At that
time your wife Sarah will have a son.”
Sarah was
listening at the entrance of the tent which was behind him. This
is the word of the Lord, …
Responsorial Psalm
The just will live in the presence of the
Lord.
Introducing
the Gospel
(Lk 10:38-42) Today St Luke tells us about two women who
were friends of Jesus. They were sisters
and didn’t always agree with each other.
Does anyone here have a sister or brother that they don’t always agree
with? Listen to this story about a time
when Jesus visited their house and what happened..
with
Alleluia!!.
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!!!
Silently say:” Cleanse my heart
and my lips, almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel to
your little children.
The Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit
The Gospel reading is
from the book of...”
Luke 10:38-42(GNT)
Jesus Visits Martha and Mary
38 As Jesus and his disciples went on their way, he came to a village
where a woman named Martha welcomed him in her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the feet of the Lord
and listened to his teaching. 40 Martha was upset over all the work
she had to do, so she came and said, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has
left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and
troubled over so many things, 42 but just one is needed. Mary has
chosen the right thing, and it will not be taken away from her.”
“The Gospel of the Lord”,
“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> How was Martha serving? <by preparing food
and taking care of her guests> How was Mary serving? <by listening to
Jesus> Why do you think that Jesus
said that Mary’s service was more important?
<discuss… because she was learning all that she could, because Martha
shows us by her actions and words about Mary that she didn’t quite understand
Jesus’ message, because Jesus would not be on earth with them much longer
> Do you think that Jesus was
criticizing the work that Martha was doing?
<not at all, there is a time
and place for all kinds of service – it was her thoughts and words that were at
fault>
Ask the Holy Spirit to
guide you to do the right thing in the coming week.
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.
