Children's Liturgy, Sunday May 31st 2009.
PENTECOST
SUNDAY |
|
| During May, we have been learning to pray
the Rosary and here is the rosary we have made, which we took into church.
Today, we honour Mary, the Mother of Jesus. |

We also carried a statue of Mary, which
someone had given us. Some of the youngest children scattered rose petals
around the rosary and statue. Everyone was given their own little statue
of Mary, as a lady had visited our liturgy room during the last couple
of weeks, liking our room so much, she wanted to give something to all
the children. |

When we begin to pray the rosary, we make
the sign of the Cross, then we say 'Our Father' and three 'Hail Marys'
and then the' Glory Be'. We prayed these prayers for everyone who is ill,
remembering Father David, Klara's husband, someone's grandma and someone's
great grandma.
We have learnt about the Mysteries of the Rosary, especially the Mysteries
of Light, and we remembered that we say 'Our Father and ten 'Hail Marys'
for each Mystery, counting them out on our beads, then a 'Glory Be'.

On our return into church, each of the children
carried flowers for Mary, which we placed in Mary's chapel. Someone carried
a cushion with a little crown of flowers, which Mags placed on Mary's
head.
Today we also celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. We heard how Jesus
had ascended into Heaven and now it was time for the apostles to carry
on telling everyone about him. They needed courage and inspiration. The
Holy Sprit came down, when flames were seen on the head of each apostle.
We asked the Holy Spirit to guide and inspire us all. The prayers were
the words which came to the children today. here is Megan's idea. |

Someone else prayed,"Please help my Grandma
get better";
someone said, "Dear God, help everyone who is hurt and died and poorly";
someone said,"Dear God, please may the Holy Spirit be in everyone
in the country";
someone prayed,"Thank you for my baby sister".
