THE MARK 10 MISSION
Designed for Children Aged 7+ 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 celebration of the Word sharing the Sunday Gospel. Every week we a create new video as we track with the Liturgical Calendar of the Church. Each video follows the ‘Gather, Word, Response and Mission’ structure recommended by the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales and Catholic Education Service in their 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
Ep15: Gaudete! The Joy of Advent
The Third Sunday of Advent is Gaudete Sunday. Guadete means ‘Rejoice’ and joy is the theme for this celebration. In the Gospel, we hear how St John the Baptist asked his friends to go to Jesus and confirm that he was the Messiah. We reflect upon the great joy John must have felt when he understood that Jesus the Saviour had arrived. We pray for the same joy of Jesus to fill our hearts and then sing the Advent hymn ‘Gabriel’s Message’ with Sr Chiara.
Ep14: Prepare the Way of the Lord
St John the Baptist was sent as a messenger to help people be ready to meet Jesus. In the wilderness he cried 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.' John is the forerunner of Jesus and shouts to us down the centuries. He encourages us to prepare this Advent and be ready for when Jesus comes again. Greg reflects on John's message and his humility. We then pray that we can make a straight path for Jesus to enter our hearts. We end by singing the ancient Advent hymn 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' with Sr Chiara.
Ep13: What is Advent?
The season of Advent is one of joyful preparation. But what exactly are we preparing for? In this Advent celebration of the Word, we share the meaning of Advent and how we can get ready for two events: the celebration of Christmas and the Parousia, meaning the second coming of Jesus. This is a beautiful way to begin Advent in prayer and song. the hymn this week is perfect for this season and is called 'Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.'
