Children's Liturgy, Sunday 30th March 2008
The
Second Sunday of Easter: Divine Mercy Sunday. |
|
Today,
in St. John's Gospel ( chapter 20:19-31), we hear how the disciples thought
Jesus was dead, until they saw him again, alive and well. Thomas, however,
does not believe that such a surprise could happen. But Jesus reminds
us that everything is possible with God.
We have talked about the times in our lives when we have been surprised
and how it is hard sometimes to believe things happen, when we don't actually
see them with our own eyes. |

Dear
Jesus,
Thank you for so many surprises in our lives. You give us many lovely
things that we do not expect, like family who love us and friends who
care for us. Help us to see you in all good people, so that we can love
you and know you more.
Amen
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Here is the Divine Mercy prayer. |

| "This
image of Jesus was painted by Saint Faustina. She was born in Poland,
named Helen Kowalska, but was canonised (made a saint) by Pope John Paul
II in 2000. She had a vision of Jesus with rays of light coming from his
body. The red light stands for the blood he shed and the white light for
the water which came from his side. " |

| And
here is Frankie's prayer for the day, too! Remember, besides guiding us
around this website, Frankie is a real guide dog, who looked after Paul
in our parish for many years.Frankie is now retired from helping Paul,
and Foster is guiding him these days, but Frankie still helps us on our
site. |
