==== 7:00 - 7:03 ====
Welcome: A door symbolizes?
<a way to enter or leave a room> Today Jesus talks about the
ways to be more like Him and enter heaven.
Jesus tells us that
we shouldn’t think too much of ourselves. If we think we're the best
and most important person at the party, we’re likely to end up
being embarrassed. Let’s think a bit about what Jesus was trying to say
now.
Focus: Memory
Verse
Luke
13:30“.. “30 Then those who are
now last, will be first, and
those who are now first will be last.””...”
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
May The Grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit,
be with you all.
And with Your
Spirit.

Liturgy of the Word(Taken the 2nd reading) In Today’s 2nd reading, is taken
from Hebrews. Has anyone here ever been punished? Do you know what that
means? <discuss> St Paul tells us that God sometimes has to punish
us to help us grow.
Hebrews
12:5a, 6-7, 11
Brothers and
sisters,
5 Have you forgotten the encouraging words
which God speaks to you as his children? “My child, pay attention when the Lord corrects you, and do not
be discouraged when he rebukes you. 6Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, and punishes everyone
he accepts as a child.”7 Endure what you
suffer as being a father's punishment; your suffering shows that
God is treating you as his children. 11 When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make
us sad, not glad. Later, however, those
who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful
reward of a
righteous life. Was there ever a child
who was not punished by his father?
This is the word of
the Lord, … Praise be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.
Introducing the Gospel
Getting into heaven
is a consequence of doing the right thing. It’s something that all
of us CAN do – but many of us WON’T do it. We try to take the easy
way when we should think every day of how we can do what Jesus would
do. Think of the door as the entrance to heaven and listen to what
St Luke tells us that Jesus said.
With Alleluia!!,
let’s welcome the Gospel.!!
Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lu
Alle-lluia,
Lets praise the
Lord,
Alle-lu Alle-lu Alle-lu
Alle-lluia,
Lets praise the
Lord,
Alle-luia, Lets Praise the Lord
Alle-luia, Lets Praise the Lord
Alle..lluia Lets praise the
Lord!!!
Silently children
are singing, 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 comes from the book of Luke 13:22- 30..”(GNT)
The Narrow Door
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching the people and
making his way toward Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Sir, will just a few people be
saved?”
Jesus answered them, 24 “Do your best to go in through the narrow
door; because many people will surely try to go in but will not be
able. 25 The master of the house will get up and close
the door; then when you stand outside and begin to knock on the
door and say, ‘Open the door for us, sir!’ he will answer you, ‘I
don't know where you come from!’ 26 Then you will answer, ‘We ate and drank with you; you taught
in our town!’ 27 But he will say again, ‘I don't
know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!’
28 How you will cry and gnash your teeth when
you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the
Kingdom of God, while you are thrown out! 29 People will come from the east and the west, from the north and
the south, and sit down at the feast in the Kingdom of God. 30 Then those who are now last will be first,
and those who are now first will be last.”
“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 was the parable? <have the children retell about the narrow door and the feast> If you were going to a house and there were two doors, a big
wide
one and a tiny narrow one, which do you
think that most people would choose?
<the large one> Why? <because
it would be the easiest to go through>
Say:
Jesus is telling us not to do what most others do. He is telling us to think, to pray to him and to do everything we can to become better people, more like him. He tells us that is the way to heaven.
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.
==== 7:24 - 7:26 ====
