Children's Liturgy Sunday February 25th 2007 First Sunday of Lent
Children's Liturgy Sunday 25th February 2007
In
our liturgy today, we talked about beginning this special time of the
Church's year, LENT. |
|
| Lent
lasts from Ash Wednesday until Easter Day. |
|
We
remember that Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness. The Gospel today
tells us that he was tempted in three ways:
When he was hungry, he knew he could change stones into bread, but chose
not to make the easy choice for his own comfort.
At the top of a high place, he could see lots of different lands, which
he knew he could rule if he really wanted. He chose not to have control
over people. |
|
| At
the top of a temple, he knew he could make himself appear wonderful, by
throwing himself down and saving himself. He chose not to make himself
look good in the eyes of the world. |
|
The
STATIONS of the CROSS:
We thought about the first two STATIONS; during his time in the desert,
Jesus knew he was preparing himself for his last terrible journey to the
CROSS. |

|
| Today,
our theme for being better followers of Jesus was LISTENING. |
|
 |
| |
 |
|
| We
thought about how we need to listen to what Jesus wants us to do and that
will help us. |

Listening
is not always easy, because we may not like what we hear. We will not
always feel comfortable, but like Jesus, we can choose to stay with it.
We may have something to learn.
When we listen, we give the other person the chance to have some power.
Like Jesus, we do not always have to control other people.
When we listen, we give other people the chance to shine. We do not need
to show off. Jesus didn't. |
