Children's Liturgy Sunday 11th February 2007
Jesus told his followers that in the Kingdom of God, the ways of our world will be turned upside-down. The people who are made to come last now, because they are poor or unimportant, will then come first. The sad will be happy. Those who are hurt, or shut out because they love Jesus, will be rewarded.
We can begin God's Kingdom now.
We have made a treasure-island map. The island is called Life. We played a game in which we moved around the island of Life. If we landed on a red square, we dug up treasure. Some treasures would be valued on earth. Some would be treasure in Heaven or Heaven-on-earth. There were two treasure chests and we had to decide whether the things we dug up were earthly treasure or heavenly treasure.
The children who are making their First Communion this year acted as consultants, which means they gave advice to the younger children, to help them decide.
 
 
This is some of the heavenly treasure they chose:
I listen to others;
People make fun of me for coming to Mass, but I still come to church;
I often get the chance to go first, but I make sure everyone else gets a turn to start as well;
People sometimes hurt me, but I never stop trying to be kind;
I am good at a lot of things, but I don't show off as I know I'm just lucky;
I am too shy to take the main part, but I enjoy helping to put on a good play or game.
