| Children following the Cross and Lectionary |
On Sunday children are now following a cross as they make their way to Children's Liturgy. On the back the children have written their name to show that they are following Jesus. As new children come and join us they will be able to add their names.In children's liturgy the children get a chance to learn from Jesus by listening to his Word. They learn at their level how we should offer ourselves following Jesus' example.
In the catechism of the Catholic Church we read of how we are called to learn from Jesus, that He is the way, that we should listen to him and follow his example to love one another.
CCC 459 The Word became flesh to be our model of holiness: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me."74 On the mountain of the Transfiguration, the Father commands: "Listen to him!"75 Jesus is the model for the Beatitudes and the norm of the new law: "Love one another as I have loved you."76 This love implies an effective offering of oneself, after his example.77.Today there were contributions from out young people = children's liturgy sang and offertory song, the choristers a harvest hymn and three year 6 pupils read out harvest poems. We'll share more of those in the days to come.
