Designed for Children Aged 8+ Each Celebration of the Word leads children to Jesus. We share the Gospel, wonder about its meaning, enter into prayer and sing
Each episode is a Sunday Gospel celebration of the Word, full of awe and wonder. We a create new videos each week, tracking with the Liturgical Calendar. Every video follows the ‘Gather, Word, Response and Mission’ structure recommended in the CBCEW Prayer and Liturgy Directory. We are also delighted to be endorsed and recommended by the Scottish Catholic Education Service as an official prayer resource.
Celebrations of the Word
Ep9: Can you be a saint?
November is the Month of the Holy Souls, and it begins with the Solemnity of All Saints. To mark this special celebration, we listen to Jesus in the Gospel as he shares his great teaching, the Beatitudes. His words show us how to live a holy life and become saints. Greg reflects on how the first Christians stood out from the crowd by showing love and care to others, even when it was difficult. Their example helped people in the Roman Empire discover Jesus. We are invited to live with that same love and discover that God has made each of us to become a saint. In our time of guided prayer, we ask Jesus to help us love others and we pray for those who have died. We say the Eternal Rest prayer together before joining Sr Chiara to sing ‘Holy Forever’. This episode is a chance to celebrate All Saints and begin the month of November with Jesus.
Ep8: What Is Real Love?
What does it really mean to love like Jesus loves? In the Holy Gospel, Jesus is challenged with a question about the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus explains that we must love God with all our hearts, minds and soul and love our neighbour as ourselves. Katie reflects upon this teaching and introduces us to something called agape love. This type of love is difficult to share all the time, however, with Jesus by our side, it is possible to love God and love others with every part of who we are. To do this, our prayer life needs to be strong and that's why we enter into a time of guided prayer together, asking Jesus to help us love like him. We conclude the episode with a the hymn 'This Is My Desire' and are sent out with a mission. Join us and invite Jesus to help you love with all of your heart, mind and soul!
