Entrance Song
1. When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds
on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all
who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be
happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but
our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.
Explain: Today is
the 33rd Sunday in
Ordinary Time, and the last Sunday in Ordinary Time. Next Sunday is the Feast of Christ the
King which is the very last Sunday of the Church Year C. After that, we begin a
new liturgical year. The Church year begins with Advent, the season before
Christmas.
Ask: Does anyone remember the symbol for last
week? <Faith=Heaven> < We talked about heaven, the eternal life
that God has promised his people.> We talked about heaven, the eternal life
that God has promised his people.
Welcome;
Today Jesus warns us that life will be difficult and the
world will face wars and disasters but that we mustn't lose hope. We must trust
in God who will guide us and save us.
//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
First Reading, Introduce the reading.
Say: Today’s first reading is from the second book of Malachi. (Mal 3:19-20)
Explain: This reading tells about how the Lord will bring justice at the end of
time. Let’s see what we can understand from the reading.…
A prepared
child/children come and take\ the first reading or second reading.
The first reading is from the
old book of Malachi 3:19-20 New American Bible (Revised Edition)
(NABRE)
19 For the day is coming, blazing like an oven,
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch,
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch,
says the Lord of hosts.
20 But for you who fear my name, the sun of justice
will arise with healing in its wings;[a]
And you will go out leaping like calves from the stall
20 But for you who fear my name, the sun of justice
will arise with healing in its wings;[a]
And you will go out leaping like calves from the stall
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
Ask: What do you think of the
story? <discuss> ** <that God will make all things
right in the end, that He will destroy all evil and that those who are trying
to do His will, will be happy>**
Let us focus on
our responsorial Psalm:
< The Lord comes to rule the earth with
justice....….>3x.
Introduce the
Gospel
Today’s Gospel
reading is all about the end of the world, too. It comes from the book of Luke. (Lk 21:5-19). When Jesus would teach
about the end of the world, people became nervous. They wanted to know when it was going
to happen. Wouldn’t you want
to know too? If you knew,
you would be particularly nice to everyone so that you could be sure that you
would go straight to heaven. Jesus
tells us about a lot of things that will have to happen first. Listen closely and see if you can hear
some of the things that will happen first.
Let us Welcome the
Gospel
..with Alleluia!! – OR
Welcome the Gospel through a song.
Chorus:
Halle, halle, halle-lu-jah!
Halle, halle, halle-lu-jah! Halle, halle, halle-lu-jah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
!!
Silently say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, that I 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
Luke
21:5-19 (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
5 [a]While some people were speaking about how the temple was
adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, he said,6 “All that you see here—the days will come when
there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown
down.”
The Signs of the End. 7 Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this
happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to
happen?” 8 He
answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying,
‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’[b] Do
not follow them! 9 When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified;
for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the
end.” 10 Then
he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and
plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from
the sky.
The Coming Persecution. 12 “Before all this happens,[c] however,
they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues
and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because
of my name. 13 It
will lead to your giving testimony. 14 Remember, you are not to prepare your defense
beforehand, 15 for
I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking[d] that
all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. 16 You will even be handed over by parents,
brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name, 18 but not a hair on your head will be
destroyed. 19 By
your perseverance you will secure your lives. The Great Tribulation.[e]
The Gospel of the Lord”
“Praise to you
Lord Jesus Christ”
==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
(*)Tell an interesting story according to the Gospel
and children’s level of understanding like in the
Gospel reflection:
Ask: Did you hear Jesus said some of the things that
will happen before the world will end? <wars,
earthquakes, people starving, terrible diseases, people will be hurt for
believing in God> Can
you think of places in the world today where there are wars, earthquakes and
people are hungry for food?
Say: But
Jesus says not to worry. He says to keep believing in Him and keep living the
best life you can. That’s
what God asks of us.
Memory Verse:
“Luke 21:9 ( “ When you hear of wars and
insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it
will not immediately be the end.”.”)
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 below.
Today as we learn
about God’s different way of seeing the world we pray together:
Prayer
1. We pray for the Church: that it may stand firm in
God’s love, supporting and welcoming all, especially those among us who are
poor. We pray to the Lord...
Prayer 2. We pray for our brothers and sisters in countries that are experiencing
wars and earth quakes, who have lost homes and loved ones: that they may
receive the help they need to rebuild. We pray to
the Lord...
Prayer 3. We pray for our parish, family and friends: that we may support each
other in all things, especially when life is difficult and we cannot see the
light. May we give each other hope... We
pray to the Lord...
Prayer 4. Let us pray that, our Lord Jesus Christ helps us
to put our faith and trust in Him at all times. May we not be afraid but
instead, believe that He will always keep us safe. We pray to the
Lord...
==== 7:26 - 7:28 ====
Silently, each one tells God your 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
