Children's Liturgy Sunday January 20th 2008

1st july 2007
In today's Gospel (John 1:29-34), we hear that, when John the Baptist met Jesus again, he saw a sign like a dove from heaven. This showed Jesus had come to baptise with the Spirit. The new baptism, brought by Jesus, would make it possible for everyone to be joined together in God's life.

Saint Paul says wonderful changes are possible, because everyone can share this life, if only we realise what is really important and do not argue with each other.
We cannot see the Spirit, but we can see the changes the Spirit can make.
We made doves, some small that we could take home, and some large, which had lots of textures, because we are all different and can find new life and show it in many different ways. We hung a large dove near the baptismal font.
